Magnificent footage of both rail and town scapes. I lived one month in Jo'burg in 1984. And my first name is Johannes.
Quite different from 13 years later, I visited Jo'burg in 1994, no steam anymore and armed guards in front of every shop and in the main station.
No one bothered to stop for pedestrians having green light in fear of being car jacked.
But great footage this, and it shows what I could have seen when I just was born 10 years earlier.
I visited in 1994. Nobody bothered me but hear nowadays it's as you say. I remember the Police looked nervous when they spoke to me. Must have had bad experiences! I had no gun knife or nothing and they had pistols rifles arms a go go and a mini tank!!
Took the train down to capetown from joburg with a couple of friends in the late seventies,great memories

Bloem station and trains will always remind me of the days doing National Service and coming and going on pass. Catching the Bloem train from JHB, and when stationed in Jan Kemp Dorp caching the Trans Karoo and getting off at Warrenton to catch the Mafeking train.
Very nice video,
Thank You and Thumbs up.

Mighty workhorse of the African plain

Hi So nice to see the old colours Today's trains look like circus trains Smart loco's
That's great. Was this shot on 16mm?
No super 8 only. The original scan is however slightly better than what you get on youtube.
@@mitch0073 Thanks - it's much better quality than most any Super 8 I've seen captured to video.
Are you sure this is 1981? With tolley-buses and such looks far more 1960s, unless I am very much mistaken (but then it's been nearly 50 years now).
Hello. I can show you my visa. I went to SA only in 1979 and during the new year period 80-81. My photos (and the ones of my wife) are on Filckr.
The savages are destroying what would have become a great country.
