I'm from Australia and recently have few new south african employees at work. You guys have so much slangs that most us aussies never heard of. And now I'm watching south african videos to learn more about your culture.
Hahaha legend! Much respect to you Henry😂 These guys from Brakpan are proper Bogan😂 next time your employees are having a smoko, you should ask them to teach you some slang😂. You'll hear some really funny/weird stuff. And yes, I know what a Bogan and a smoko is! Much love from South Africa 🇿🇦
South African here living in Adelaide South Australia. Our cultures are similar in various ways, but South Africa has a VERY diverse range of cultures so you'd have to visit (knowing where's safe and where not) to experience the full mix
What kulcha, dere is no culcha, it's just a mix of everything in a pot. That place is lekka zef man, tell those okes you employed they mustn't act zef ekke se... Haaibo, you bega wena
Im a Zulu South African who just found himself in Brakkies for 2 hours on a Sunday, I LOVE how they take out their classic cars on Sunday drives, im quite fluent in Afrikaans yet I feel like my Mechanic side belongs there. This is a golden video guys
I was in a minibus taxi in Germiston CBD about 2009-2010. The police stopped us and one asked me, do I have any weapons like a knife? I said no. She said "you need to get one"
Official crime stats prove that Brakpan is much safer than the neighboring towns, Boksburg, Benoni and Springs. Part of this is due to the fact that there has been an effective two way radio network in operation since 2010. With more than 800 households linked everyone stands together and help each other. Brakpan Radio Groep - Ons Staan Saam.
Hahaha those ladies said you can get divorced 3 times and still be married in the same family,and that guy in the parking lot confirmed it with his brother story 😂😂
Hey I grew up in Brakpan! Was a firefighter and medic for over 14 years. Moved to the Western Cape, life after Brakpan is possible. I know of many Brakpanites living all over the world like Australia, UK and USA. We've been taking over the world slowly after marrying into families all over cousin.
Brilliant. Well done The Boys, I havn't laughed so much in a while. I have lived in Brakpan for just over 21 years. I don't speak Afrikaans, However I understand it. I have lived on the Eastrand for 40 odd Years, Brakpan is unique that's for sure. Very friendly. Keep Rocking!
You put a big smile on my face for the day. I spent a large portion of my life living in Springs. Those little dorpies are actually cool places to live. Cost of living is much cheaper and Joburg is only 45 minutes or less away. Thanks for the laughs. 😂😂
Hi. I watched the build from the start. It is absolutely amazing to watch the bike go from steel pipes to a fully functional bike. It was awesome to see. Mark
I grew up in Brakpan moved there when i was a little kid of about 3 years old, it has an element of hillbilly'ness but you hit the nail on the head,the people are unpretencious in other words like you say real!
I was a teenager in Joburg in the 90s. I remember that part of Joburg as the “east rand”. People had less money there was more concrete and it was more sketchy, but I had great church friends there and the people were great. There was a good skate park in Benoni.
Funny enough it actually gets proper service delivery unlike most parts of SA which some deem better . It looks clean, potholes are few infact it looked like the streets were wide and well maintained , working traffic lights, you still felt safe enough to interview people, I saw houses with low fences on your video which already tells me it's a bit safer - when last did you see those in an area that's not in an area without a boom gate. It may be regarded as a dead town but maybe what people are saying is weird about it is actually helping keep more bad people away. Go to some parts of joburg, good publicity attracts also the worst of things. It depends on what you see as a person. Great video guys. 👍
LITTLE FALLS! Those white painted rocks on the hillside, facing the highway spelling out Little Falls, and someone regularly changed the F to a B. Still makes me laugh to this day. In my 55 years on this planet, you are the first person I've ever come across from Little Balls.
Ha ha. Yep my late father and his partner came from Holland in 1946 and started HADECO Flowers and Bulbs in Little Falls. Original name Harry de Leeuw Flowers and Bulbs. Loved the place. Roamed wild and free. To stop my buddy of six and myself to climb to those “ Little Falls” rocks my mom said there were killer snakes there. Only when 8 did we walk up there💪💪
Im from Van dyk Park which is a neighborhood where a single street seperates Boksburg and Brakpan. If you guys go decide to go to a pub in Brakpan, you should go to Either Wildebees or Dingos which are on North Rand Road in Boksburg, but they capture that Bemoerde triangle energy perfectly😹. As a black guy i always go to these pubs to enjoy being the center of attention until they play Nkalakatha.
I grew up in Brakpan and was really looking forward to this video,unfortunately I suffer from vertigo and could only watch like 5 minutes before I had to give up,that swinging camara is death to people like us...

@@kingalfred3902 My good man, I think you may have been in the wrong Hotel on the night in question, maybe you and your cronies should have rather gone to the Springs Hotel or the van Riebeck Hotel or even beter the National hotel. There you were sure to get on your more! The guys that hung out in the Veld & Vlei were probably from Strubenvale and Casseldale, the people who hung out at the van Riebeck and the National Hotel were normally from Spring extension and Geduld, they would not have called the police, you would have picked up there in an ambulance!😆😅🤣

Wow , amazing guys ! Awesome video: you mentioned all the towns in the East Rand: Boksburg, Benoni & Brakpan but excluded Springs , my home town ! Even though all towns were labelled as negative places to live , the communities are supportive!
Next time, give us a heads-up so we can show you around properly. Brakpan certainly does have some colorful and interesting characters doesn't it? Perry's Supermarket is roughly 5min from where I live, and I love how you guys managed to capture the atmosphere and the friendliness of the people accurately, without putting Brakpan down. Hope you guys come back soon!
Many years ago i worked at SA railways, Germiston depo... All my friends that worked with me lived in Boksburg, Brakpan, Springs,and Benoni, all done their trade with me,i met this wonderful Lady Afrikaans lady in the early 80s from Brakpan,got married,and still happily married with 3 beautiful children (also brakkies)but we actually miss the east rand now - Hopefully Brakpan will see us again 🤘🤘🤘
As a child I used to visit my grandparents there - it was a lovely little town. Apparently it has gone to hel in a handbasket in the last 40 yrs. Haven't been there since.
Like staying in brakpan..Stayed in randburg 5 years.took me 10 min to get.out of ny own driveway.. certain suburbs in brakpan has people who owns gold mines, big franchises, but stay down to earth people
How nostalgic I grew up in Brakpan, near the dam... love the way you got batman to say what he did. Lol Haven't heard the word "tapit" in years. Dankie bra
What about PTA north, something like Wolmer... First time I see a Granny, daughter and granddaughter each walking with a pram! 😮😅😂 and its their own children my guy 😮😮😮😮😮
Very true. My mother lives in Wolmer. I live in CT but go to visit in Dec. The best is to join them in the front garden and watch whats happening and who walks by. My 2 brothers and their wives and children lives with my mother. Big family. My brother is hilarious as he grew up there. They know everything about everybody. All the neighborhood know my mother and call her Tannie Ralie. They take turns to come by and each one skinner (gossip) about the other. 😂
@@maurchesnyman3955 haha you have to introduce me to them, thats the typical image I get if I think of that area, not saying they bad, but the gossip and borrowing of sugar is what I first think of and thats a lekker vibe to have! And those people always has about 100 friends staying literally within 50meters 😅💪
😂 I love South Africans - all of them. You boys just made me subscribe. I love how we’ve gotten over our sh*t & we laugh about it in this country ♥️. Local is lekker!
I spent most of my high school years in Brakpan. My family had a house on the one side of the railway which had a high school, then later we moved to the other side of the railway which had another high school. The best thing I remember was the English church across the road from our 1st house in Brakpan. There were the first Americans I ever met. The pianist was a lady from Texas. That time the accent was a bit hard to understand. The church was where I met the best girl I ever knew but lost when I ran away from home. 1994. Brakpan will always be in my heart. Maybe one day I will go back.
You guys came in from the boring side. The other side had a sinkhole block of the road and the detour goes through an informal settlement. Would have really set the mood
I stay in Brakpan. Right by the shop where they sell the boerewors rolls. I should've taken you around this town. I lived on these streets before.. you would've loved it.
I'm a DRC 🇨🇩 guy who knows quite well Johannesburg 🇿🇦. To my knowledge BRAKPAN is situated in the East of Johannesburg. One of the main attraction spot in BRAKPAN is EMPEROR PALACE. Keep those videos coming through. 🙏
They are busy changing that. Nothing is being done to the illegal squatter camp in Anzac. Every day black smoke from burning tyres and plastic engulfs the town, people are ill with respiratory illnesses and many have actually died from related illnesses. Crime is also rising as this cancerous infection called Plastic City is growing. The main road between Brakpan and Benoni has been obliterated by the illegal miners who stay in Plastic City.
That was such a great video guys.. I'm from Boksburg and currently live in Brakpan. I guess every place has its bad area and te be honest, I think Primrose is a much worse area you should have gone to. Keep up the good work 😊
Yeah I'm I Primrose, there are nice parts but avoid CBD and it's near the huge Makausi township where even the cops won't go inside. Both sides of Rietfontein Road are nasty - drunks, druggies, it's bad. I once drove down and a woman just jumped into the road and freaked out, probably on drugs but looked possessed.

Can confirm Johnny's statement
Because there is nothing to steal 🤣
Because Brakpan doesn't have the time to involve cops - faster ways to distribute justice.
Secunda in my opinion is way worse
Hahaha those ladies said you can get divorced 3 times and still be married in the same family,and that guy in the parking lot confirmed it with his brother story 😂😂

My 2 brothers and their wives and children lives with my mother. Big family. My brother is hilarious as he grew up there. They know everything about everybody. All the neighborhood know my mother and call her Tannie Ralie. They take turns to come by and each one skinner (gossip) about the other. 😂
@@maurchesnyman3955 haha you have to introduce me to them, thats the typical image I get if I think of that area, not saying they bad, but the gossip and borrowing of sugar is what I first think of and thats a lekker vibe to have! And those people always has about 100 friends staying literally within 50meters 😅💪
@@bluecouchpodcast24 haha its true bro lol 🤣
Lol. Love the car guard. Your content is engaging. I would have never ordinarily watched anything on Brakpan.

The 'lick-war' store... eish
Shit thats hilarious 😂😂😂😂
I spent most of my high school years in Brakpan. My family had a house on the one side of the railway which had a high school, then later we moved to the other side of the railway which had another high school. The best thing I remember was the English church across the road from our 1st house in Brakpan. There were the first Americans I ever met. The pianist was a lady from Texas. That time the accent was a bit hard to understand. The church was where I met the best girl I ever knew but lost when I ran away from home. 1994. Brakpan will always be in my heart. Maybe one day I will go back.
You guys came in from the boring side. The other side had a sinkhole block of the road and the detour goes through an informal settlement. Would have really set the mood
Plastic city tours

I stay in Brakpan. Right by the shop where they sell the boerewors rolls. I should've taken you around this town. I lived on these streets before.. you would've loved it.
Damon made this video 10× better

I'm a DRC 🇨🇩 guy who knows quite well Johannesburg 🇿🇦. To my knowledge BRAKPAN is situated in the East of Johannesburg. One of the main attraction spot in BRAKPAN is EMPEROR PALACE. Keep those videos coming through. 🙏
Brakpan has its nice areas and the rough areas. Some as the people. Much safer in Brakpan than Germiston or Johannesburg which are hell holes !
They are busy changing that. Nothing is being done to the illegal squatter camp in Anzac. Every day black smoke from burning tyres and plastic engulfs the town, people are ill with respiratory illnesses and many have actually died from related illnesses. Crime is also rising as this cancerous infection called Plastic City is growing. The main road between Brakpan and Benoni has been obliterated by the illegal miners who stay in Plastic City.
Brakpan has one of the biggest Woolies : ) How can you miss Carnival Mall.
Surprised its so clean!!😮...compared to Bloem...
That was such a great video guys.. I'm from Boksburg and currently live in Brakpan. I guess every place has its bad area and te be honest, I think Primrose is a much worse area you should have gone to. Keep up the good work 😊
Yeah I'm I Primrose, there are nice parts but avoid CBD and it's near the huge Makausi township where even the cops won't go inside. Both sides of Rietfontein Road are nasty - drunks, druggies, it's bad. I once drove down and a woman just jumped into the road and freaked out, probably on drugs but looked possessed.
Well known for 3,2,1... 3 litre Ford XR, 2 litre Coke and 1 litre Brannas
I'm from Botswana it's nice to come here 🎉🎉❤❤ love our country ❤❤❤😊
Come to Soshanguve jukulyn I’ll protect you I stay here if you want to know about our township reply here and let’s make it happen
Brakpan is the florida of South Africa... and we love it😂
Notice how Brakpan almost sounds like bedpan. That pretty much sums the place up. 😅
Love this❤ Thank you 😅
