Gelvandale: The place where no one is safe and trust does not exist?

- Gelvandale is quite popular for its diverse community, with a significant portion of the population being of Indian and coloured descent.
Unfortunately, it has also gained a reputation as one of the most dangerous suburbs in Port Elizabeth, and not without good reason. The area has struggled with a high crime rate for many years, with violent crime being the most prevalent.
Gang-related activity is a significant issue in Gelvandale, with gangs responsible for a significant portion of the violence in the area. Residents often live in fear of being caught up in the crossfire of gang-related shootings and assaults.
Furthermore, the socio-economic conditions in Gelvandale exacerbate the crime situation in the area. Poverty and unemployment are prevalent, which can lead to desperation and criminal behaviour among some residents.
The lack of opportunities and a sense of hopelessness can make some individuals feel that they have no other choice but to turn to crime to survive.
Moreover, the poor living conditions and inadequate infrastructure in the area make it easier for criminals to carry out their activities undetected.

Hi there I'm glad you were proven wrong about the area it's quite safe I mean if you going to walk around at night after dark it's an entirely different story grkvandale is not a dangerous place I wish I could say the same about helenvale
So true, I was proven wrong, the community is quite opposite of what the media says.... I like Gelvandale.... It was also very clean and quiet, I guess like anywhere else in SA, it also has its ups and downs.... Wish the media narrative would change, Salute!
No, it's not I was there they told me run to the taxi because there were some guys that were shooting guns robbing people
Me too ..also had the idea that Gelvendale was BAD .....but it's lovely.Thanks for the video
Thank you for watching. It definitely is opposite of narrative, if anything I would definitely move there and stay there...once again thank you for watching 🙏🙏🙏
Show them the real Gelvandale katanga pls🎉
Here is the real Helenvale / Katanga 🫴 th-cam.com/video/VZ5fcm7o-Do/w-d-xo.html
HE WOULD NEVER 😂
@@DefPaw please check link above for the Helenvale video 👍
It's like showing waterfall,Sandton and saying Joburg is safe...
I will never forget where I grow up
Hi I'm from gelvandale was born here quite safe yes there is isolated case of drugs n alcohol abuse but quite frankly a very nice and chilled place dispite some cases of violence
Ok, cool, thank you 😊😊
I grew up in gelvan its like any area has its ups n downs but its not life threatening
I'm from cape town but I have family in Port Elizabeth gelvandale yes very nice area thanks for the video
Beautiful place, thank you for watching 😊
Port Elizabeth people love to drink however they extremely hard working people. Extremely friendly and excellent host. Gelvandale is probably the safest area compared to katanga, korsten, shordaville also one must note that most violence is amongst the gangs and gangsters ordinary people are very seldom troubled by crime. P.e is probably one of the safest provinces in our country.
Totally agree with you on all the points you noted above....
I am staying in Helenvale Stag street over 25 years and i am a Photographer for 20 years and i use to take photos in the whole of Helenvale so helenvale so i just wonder what this video you make were all about 😮 i just wonder
Good to hear from you....
How's it bro, it's imperative that you do your homework of the area and or country you documenting. That said gelvandale stadium is very much in use. Local community and p.e at large uses the stadium right through the year for various different occasions
Noted thank you 👍
You mention helenvale katanga but you didn't go in there because you know that's the dangerous place where you should take video and show the people the real katanga
@@GeraldineMacgear are you talking about this one ➡️ th-cam.com/video/VZ5fcm7o-Do/w-d-xo.htmlsi=6d04TrKKzoQec6TC
Why concentrating on Gelvandale only? It doesn't represent the whole of the Northern Area. If you just went more north, you would have seen the poverty, chaos, and a fractured community that also affects Gelvandale, There is still Springdale, Beverly hills Helenvale (Katanga) these are all suburbs that are just separating Gelvandale by a single rd.
Good question, apparently i have done videos of the whole Northern Areas, actually the whole of PE... If you check on my channel you will see the videos. Video for Helenvale (Katanga) is just above this one. If you get a chance maybe scroll up & down and see some of the videos. Thank you 😊
Gavelndale ain't a dangerous place, go to Halenvale, missionvale, Kleinskool, there you gona se what is dengerous
Totally agree with you... HELENVALE video will be loaded in the next few days to come.... Same with Missionvale and Kleinskool. Thank you for watching 🙏🙏🙏
Well l had my fare share of Galvendale. Couple of years back we were at a youth function. We were rob inside the church gunshots were fired inside the church. That was my last day l set foot in Galvendale. 🙆🙆
Ok, so sorry to hear that, after my drive through tour there I thought that the media gives the place negative publicity yet it gave me the impression of peacefull, quiet community...
My home town all my family stay there go home every year ❤
Lekker home town 😊
Where you riding now is called the hills Beverly hills small gelvane and where you started is big gelvandale
@@antoniowhitebooi9382 noted thank you. Thank you for watching…🙏🙏🙏
That image in the thumbnail looks alot like manenberg
😅
that is manenberg
Helenvale starts from gailrd at the back streets from martin str it's dangerous to walk
Ok, thank you 👍
Don't know much about. Galvendal. Had an aunty. Who immigrated from. Zimbabwe to port Elizabeth. But a lot of water has gone under the Zambezi to now hear a lot of Kirkwood was with late husband there in. 1988 stayed at hotel. Where lighthouse is
Thank you for sharing. Gelvandale is in the Northern Areas of PE, apparently it's not a bad area to stay though there are incidents of crime in and around the neighborhood or community of Gelvan, Helenvale on the hand is said to be notorious by media and people from around PE....
I used to stay in P.E for more than 12 years .I can tell you the dangerous areas out there. Booysen Park ,Kleinskool,Missionvalle,Katanga.All those are nothern areas including Shauder in Korsten.Missionvalle that's where I used to be that was my Hood.
Thank you for sharing, will also check out those mentioned neighborhoods....
Theres area called katanga there,i went there by mistake...geez I had to drive with my doors locked
The video above this one is the Helenvale one.
What I have noticed about PE, it's not dirty. Roads are clean
That's true...
Go to the city center it's very dirty where the taxis operate
Nice community hall and nice community stadium
Almost everything is perfect in this community 👌
Hi do know pmd motor action in port Elizabeth
@@petermash8540 Sorry I don't know that place
Your thumbnail is manenberg. Not gelvandale. Go to Manenberg & hanover park rest of cape flats for such content.
@@BrunetteGOIWER I have also done videos of the places you mentioned, will be uploaded in due course. Thank you
It is a nice area indeed it looks so quiet
Gelvandale is quite save I live here you talk about Helenvale you in the wrong place my brother you must go to Helenvale (Katanga)😂
Thank you for watching, here is the link to Helenvale video 🫴 th-cam.com/video/VZ5fcm7o-Do/w-d-xo.htmlsi=8tbbfAg9MoCxHYPZ
I love my hometown 😂
My friend you where skipping all the evil places of helenvale,next time,go to fitchard str,stag str,martin str,bongo str,develroad,pinar str,small stanford,voicen str,stoep, then you may not make it back alive
I did a some parts of Helenvale, they were peaceful the 3 times I did them.... Totally opposite of narrative pushed around 🫴 th-cam.com/video/VZ5fcm7o-Do/w-d-xo.htmlsi=5bK70CwhsYv9-_he
That's where I grow up go to the other parts of the northern areas it tells different stories
Thank you for watching, here is the link to Helenvale video 🫴 th-cam.com/video/VZ5fcm7o-Do/w-d-xo.htmlsi=8tbbfAg9MoCxHYPZ
You are not at the area called Katanga
The place is clean not a lot of people on the road its looks far better where i stay like it
True, the community is clean and the roads are nice 👌👌👌
That’s my home. 😢 I miss home ❤
Take this off you page , and you just wasted petrol
Noted thank you
The funny thing is that you driving thru the safer street😂
I drove through the neighborhood. Maybe next time you can take me to the other side....
Thanks bro ❤
Awesome thank 🙏🙏🙏😊
how can we visit the place like that ?
What you saw in this video is what I saw during my day visit there, not sure at night though.... The community gave me a sense of any normal safe community or neighborhood in SA, yet the pictures painted by media is opposite to what I saw and experienced. For now I can safely say it is safe to visit during the day like anywhere else around PE or South Africa.
Why not go to Motherwell and New Brighton, Gelvan is not what everyone says it is. It's like any other Kasi.
Here's the Motherwell Link 🫴th-cam.com/video/uG6_jS8Ut4s/w-d-xo.htmlsi=xITvUDM16lQvLkE2

Lol if you truly want to make a video or documentary then you first mustn't say Gelvandale the place where no one is safe because its not like that its only certain area's put a better front page or heading on
i go almost everyday, never had problems.
True, hence am saying the media narrative paints a gloomy picture of this otherwise beautiful community or neighborhood ....
@@thegreatafrikanchannel Exactly, this is our beautiful community and neighborhood.
❤❤ lovely
trust me on that one,maybe God guid you not to go to where its realy not to be trusted with your first driving around, cuz you where all-around the peace area's of the northerns
