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!

Me too ..also had the idea that Gelvendale was BAD .....but it's lovely.Thanks for the video

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.

The video above this one is the Helenvale one.

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.

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

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.
