    I grew up in Welkom in the 1990s.. sad to see how it’s deteriorated.. can hardly see road markings..
    The rot has slowly set in…

    Lekker ou Wellies😄Proud to call it my home every single day.There's a old saying:"You cry when you have to move to Welkom,but you cry even harder the day you have to leave Welkom".My family have been part of Welkom for 70 years i have no place else,i want no place else😁.

      @@travelthroughthelens369 My friend sadly the Welkom you see today is nothing compared to Welkom from the 60s,70s and 80s.It really use to be the Garden City,a city within a garden as invisioned by Mr Ernest Oppenheimer,but thank you for your kind words.🙂

      You are delusional…😆
      Sadly people who stayed in Welkom became numb and desensitized to the hell hole that it is…
      Depressing is an understatement..

    Remember not to change lines inside a circle...BIG no no. We are very proud of our city. A.k.a The City of Circles. Founded in 1948.
    Received City Status on 14 Febuary 1968. A Preplanned city. The most unique city in South Africa. Also no parking meters. A city so inviting the still call it WELKOM.

    Amazing clean city, designed for a car. I can see the pedestrian are having a tough time crossing those broad streets.

      Yeah. Motorists are neglecting the pedestrian crossings.

      Barely. Technicalities... But hey, it's a city at the end of the day. Het in Virginia grootgeword, was in my vroeë twintigs toe dit 'n stad verklaar was. Het op daardie tyd in Welkom gebly.
