Cape Town, South Africa | Inside the World’s Most Dangerous Cities (Documentary)
With a population of nearly six million, Cape Town is the second city of South Africa. Many of the richest people in the country have ocean villas there. But there is a dark side to this breathtakingly beautiful city. Three thousand people a year are murdered in Cape Town, making it the most dangerous city in Africa.
Shootings are commonplace, especially in the townships. Some townships have become no-go areas, plagued by murders, violent robberies and illicit trade of every kind. The police are pushed beyond their limits by the level of violence. Many locals choose to carry guns to defend themselves. Some even turn vigilante, while the middle classes barricade themselves into houses that are increasingly heavily fortified.
When they do leave their homes, people are constantly on the alert for potential threats. Last year over 18,000 people in South Africa were the victims of a carjacking at gun point. People have little to no faith in the police, as so many of these crimes remain unsolved. Some invest in panic buttons which they always carry with them. Just one quick press of the red button, and an armed response team from a private company rushes to the client’s rescue.
Manenberg, 15 kilometres from the city centre, serves as headquarters for a notorious gang who call themselves “The Americans.” They are violent drug dealers who flood the streets of Manenberg with “tik” a local version of crystal meth. Their rivals the “Dixie Boys” run protection rackets, and the gangs frequently fight for territory.
The police struggle to enforce the law, but the gangsters have no fear of prison. On the contrary, it helps them to gain status with their peers. Witnesses often refuse to speak to the police in fear of their lives.
With interviews and exceptional access, this film tells the tragic stories of beautiful Cape Town, one of the most dangerous cities in the world.
This film was first released in 2022.

The 15yr old being praised for his first homicide by the same people complaining about neighborhood shootings is absurd and sick.

South Africa is more-or-less a failed state now. The Governments have had massive income at their disposal for decades since Apartheid ended. They're no longer at war with all their neighbours, they have wonderful land and all kinds of mineral resources. The place ought to be booming. There should have been affordable housing projects, schools and new hospitals and clinics sprouting up everywhere. This would have led to growth and jobs and hope. Alternatively, you can build mansions for all your supporters, buy them BMW cars and set up fake businesses to launder the Government money into personal bank accounts. They have now a long established political class which is an organised Kleptocracy. It doesnt matter who you vote for, or what they promised - They WILL steal all the money as first order of business. Its a heartbreaker. I remember the hope everyone had when Mandela was released from jail. But they held him 20 years too long. His wife had become a political party on her own and out of control. And he was released as a lost old man surrounded by younger and greedier people who'd used the ANC as a ladder to personal wealth. I personally used to think that 'white flight' was about racism - white people refusing to accept one person, one vote. Now 20 years later, you realise that these were ordinary people, plumbers, engineers, mechanics and their families who couldnt survive the lawlessness and crime going on. Not rich enough to have teams of armed guards and so on - what kind of choice did they have?

@@modernmelbourneman 'Failed State' is a relative term. What I said was that S.A. was more-or-less a failed state. Its like a sugar lump placed on a saucer full of water. It retains its form for a good long while even though it is dissolving inexorably. Its like that with countries too. Somalia was on its way to failed statehood during the time of Siad Barre -after his coup of 1969 led to the destruction of state institutions and kleptocracy. In Lebanon, also a more or less failed state, the crunch came during the civil war in the 1970's and Israeli invasion. Both of these sugar lumps have taken decades to finally collapse into chaos and one has dissolved more than the other - but the process has been the same. South Africa isnt quite there yet. But all the failures and bad governance/corruption is alive and well. And once this process starts, it seems theres no way back.

I think South Africa needs to take note of what the Salvadoran government are doing. After passing legislation that suspends the right of association and legal counsel and increased the time spent in detention without charge. This has resulted in nearly 80,000 dangerous gang members being taken off the street. Turning El Salvador from the murder capital of the world to one of the safest in Central America.

Having lived in this country on and off with my job . it is far worse off now than it was under White rule back in the 80s , there was gangs and murders but not on the scale as it is now , and the SAP (south African police ) was not totally corrupt , as it is now , Back in the 80s they where better trained unlike now , jobs are given away to people in your own Tribe and not given to people who are better suited to do the job . all the infrastructure in this country is falling apart , power cuts , water cuts , power stations in poor conditions , sewage plants not working , crime massively increasing every day , its corrupt from the Top politicians to the bottom police man and every one in the middle .

The city center is the most beautiful part of a city in the world in my opinion, having visited a lot of cities like Paris, Prague, Barcelona, Jerusalem, Bend, OR, Sedona, AZ… But it’s very de facto segregated. It’s amazing the contrasts in Cape Town and South Africa as a whole. I remember seeing a Ferrari driving through Soweto next to shanty houses.. and across the street there was a brand new enormous fitness center. Super crazy place. But you can safely drink the tap water pretty much everywhere.

My daughter was there and said to me mama it is a very beautiful country but never i would live there. Always looking over your shoulder is not a life. She was there four days and already robbed from her cellphone. She's half African but being white or other color doesn't make a difference.
South Africa is so beautiful! Had it not been for their high crime I would have settled there😩
The most beautiful city I have ever been in life, but yet it’s so sad they live among so much criminality.
Sad how such a promising country goes down so fast just because of greedy politicians and corruption.

No. Look at some countries in Latin America. Super-prisons but crimes is still super high. It need to be a change from the deep in the whole society. Less rich people and less poor people. A huge middleclass is the answer to an more equal society. Look at the Nordic countries

Used to visit Cape Town back in 2016/2017 and, thankfully, did not experience any kind of crime. We had a wonderful time and the sights such as the table mountain, the va waterfront, the cape point are spectacular, however, all of the villas/houses surrounded by high metal and/or concrete fences do provide quite a feeling that you re not safe at all, i.e. that there the dangers are outside, not inside the fences and the overall athmosphere in CPT is tense
DA thank you very much
Police just counts bodies while eating donuts.
I just couldn't live in such an area. The constant fear and drama is overwhelming.
I am Zimbabwean i did my University studies at Stellrnbosch. Thats why i left South Africa it not a good country to raise a family and went back to my country to try my luck. Now violent crimes have increased in Zimbabwe and this has forced me to run away again to a more safer country. If Africa doesnt address poverty violence is going to spiral
Everything is always blamed on apartheid..Cape town was a very safe clean first world city until it was handed over to them..that’s when the crime shot up..Stop blaming apartheid..for once have the courage to tell it like it really is.

Not for a million dollars paid upfront and in cash would I agree to spend one solitary day in that hell-hole called South Africa.

As a tourist , my impression of Cape Town is that is a city of extreme contrasts , the city has lots of upmarket shopping centres , high quality hotels and beautiful homes and some high quality suburbs . I have walked around the streets in the inner city late at night without any problems . The majority of problems that occur in Cape Town occur in areas well away from the city centre where tourists don't usually travel to . Those who don't like extreme hot weather , Cape Town is ideal as the weather there is very moderate . One of the main problems with South Africa is the electricity supply because each day the electricity is turned off in all areas for a certain amount of hours per day or night which is not a good safety procedure and it is predicted that it will take many years before the electricity supply will get back to normal .

This crime is by design and it can be stopped when needed. Crimes like these bring advantages to some and i am not talking about the thieves themselves. It's a pity that many don't understand that. Leave this place if you still want to remain alive. I mean, what helps you to live in fear and burying families and neighbours? South Africa is huge, leave and go far or even the country. There is no police in SA that will be able to end this. It is a war not to win. Very scary situation
