    Sorry everyone for the use of the word “notorious.” I actually did not know the connotation behind the word. My initial thought was that the word was synonymous with legendary, iconic, and looked up to. I apologize sincerely.

      No worries, I could tell that's what you meant, in south Africa we also misuse some English words for our own use and meaning.

      I was realy waiting for the end of the video so I can correct you on that one because your description really is not good for the property value in these communities. These people are going out of their way to ensure that the value of their properties is kept in check and protected. There is no place in South Africa that you will not find pockets of crimes even in the affluent suburbs but it's not as bad as the media makes look like especially in the black communities. There will come a time where content creators will be sued for misrepresentation of the actual state of these neighborhoods if you guys are not careful. Love your video and I will subscribe. Keep doing the good work.

      That is true!! Of course crime happens anywhere, but that's not the first, 2nd or 3rd thing I'd describe Soweto as. It's relative, but Soweto is a vibe and very culturally rich and diverse. You can check out other 'affluent' parts of Soweto that was originally for the elite/educated blacks as they still had to reside with other black people. Suburbs were only for other races. Places like Pimville, Dube, Rockville...

    Deepkloof Extension in Soweto was built during the Apartheid era, with the initial phases constructed in the early 1980s. The development continued post-Apartheid, with the final phases completed in the mid to late 1990s

    Diepkloof is actually safe during the day, however there's alot of crime during the night, especially now in winter, also for many people going to work early in the morning there's patrollers who accompany them to taxi's for their safety.

    Soweto is not as crime ridden as the media make it out to be, for example we are so friendly, I know that since you have a decent following on UA-cam, Trust me if you would announce that you are coming to visit us, you will have tons of invites to welcome you to their homes during your visit. Try it next time you visit. Mind you these homes were built around . That brown house you were commenting about 20:51/20:56, there a number of homes that have same look all over Soweto a number of them were designed and built by the same Architect/designer. The ones I know are in Protea North, one in Pimville (not far from Konka), there's on in Rockville(next to Thokoza park), many more.

    To think this is just our lower middle class. The uppper middle class is in the suburbs in Sandton, Rosebank and all these other areas while the rich are in Waterfall estate and similar locations. If you were in any other country in Africa this would be viewd as a rich neighborhood while in SA its not even the upper middle class. We have come far as a country to build up a middle class that we can now even devide. The upper middle class pays for location and more expensive things but both the upper and lower middle class in SA are expoesed to everything the middle class in the US is expised to. Cable TV, expensive cars, credit, etc. The difference between SA and other African countries is thst the government builds houses for the poor that's why we have a very small homelessness culture.
