As black people watching this portal into the past, historical contexts aside, none of us can deny that Joburg in the 70's LOOKED a lot better than it does now. Cause nowadays, unless you're rich and can afford to live a more affluent area of the city, Joburg is not fit for human habitation. It sucks on just about every conceivable level. And I hate that because I'm black, I have to pretend that that's not the case. That it's "not so bad." Is this what it's come to? That we have to defend a toxic hell-hole of a city because it's governed by people with the same skin tone as us? People, I might add, who couldn't give two fucks about you or your opinion of their competency. People who would sell you to the highest bidder (which they do often btw) at the drop of a hat. Is this the best we can do as black people? Are we so defiant in our struggle with our own shortcomings that we can't even acknowledge that something merely LOOKED better in the past?

It was actually a heart-wrenchingly sad comment to read but I hear you. If these were "my people" governing my country into oblivion I would also be struggling with that same shame. But YOU are "my people". This isn't a case of black people running the country into a sh*thole graveyard. It's a case of underqualified individuals who weaponise race to stay in power, and to deflect its responsibility for ruining our beautiful country. This is sadly why many of us vote for people who look like us instead of for policies we believe in. They have kept us divided along racial lines because together they know we will no longer stand for their corruption. I love you my brother or sister. I truly hope their are more like you out there

I lived in Johannesburg from 1972 to 1975 as an Australian expat. The city and suburban areas were truly wonderful, very clean and well maintained . First I lived in Doornfontein then in a suburb called Mayfair and finally in Joubert Park , down the road from Hillbrow. I can only imagine what all these places are like nowadays, but from what I 've heard Joubert Park is a cesspool and unfit for human habitation. Very sad how a truly wonderful city has hit rock bottom, due to the usual 3 functions of civil servants, corruption , incompetence and arrogance.

The result is over crowding and under funded institutions.

Because Zulu want to protect their people & culture. And I mean, look at South African now, all the people who defended apartheid were proven correct

There are no blames. it is just how it should be at the end of the day to be honest. In the apartheid era, although with a terrible regime that HAD to end, the government knew what it meant to run a country and grow a country. There was experience. They (white people) came from a long line of governing countries for hundreds of years. Thats where the experience comes from, where as African's from here who have never gone through that experience had the responsibility to run an entire country. That is why the regime didn't want to give the country to the hands of Black people. They did not understand the importance, there was anger because they couldn't live like this and that had turned in to greed, therefore we have corruption. Mistakes will continue to be made, but that is how one learns. And hopefully the part of South Africa that doesn't understand what it means to run this country learns out of these mistakes.

My aunt used to work in Jozi back in these days. Walked around as she pleased and was never harassed. She's black. We're not saying there wasn't any racism when one had to interact with white people, but you could roam the city freely. No one stopped you from doing that.

It’s the peacefulness for me. Set aside the historical controversies that were happening at the time ... I would have loved to live in that era

Wow, what a stark reminder of how peaceful and well maintained the city was then! We see black & white people going about their business in a peaceful and contented way. The city is clean and everything is well maintained - a far cry form what we see today! Thanks to the ANC, who have had every opportunity to make the previously oppressed people's lives better, it's now an absolute sh*t-hole! The ANC puts it's own greed above the needs of it's people, and things continue to spiral downwards. Sad, but true! When will all South Africans wake up and start supporting a government that puts it's people first, and takes colour out of the equation? It's no longer about colour - it's about pride, honour, capabilities, intent, and execution of duties. We can no longer tolerate lies, theft, and non delivery!

I am from Mozambique and i remember in tne 90s i used to hear migrants tell wonderful stories about how beautiful and good it was. So i grew up hallucinated and wanting desperately to visit Joburg. Not New York, JHB. I managed it in December 2020 and when i got there i was totally disappointed: Dirty streets and dirty and neglected buildings in contrast with what i had grew up hearing. I found the arquitect of the buildings outdated. Even in Maputo we have like 4 or 5 modern modern buildings. I stayed in a cheap hotel and it was noisey, smelling weed all over the stairs. The streets are scary: people drinking alcohol and smoking as opposed to what i had heard back in the 90s, when they said ""you dont drink or throw garbage on JHB streets because you got punished"". Now South Africans will just live in their nostalgy of these beautiful videos. In my opinion, ANC bad policies and migrants helped ruin this beautiful town.
