Triomf / Sophiatown Johannesburg | Hood Tour / Life In South Africa | Forgotten Johannesburg Part 3

The latest installment in a series that I started 4 years ago, that I decided to continue with. Differing from my usual content, I would like to continue doing these videos in addition with my Orthodox Christian content, language based content and posting music, because, why not? And if I can combine all of the elements, all the better.
...
In this video, I will take you through the South African Hood of Triomf, or Sophiatown, I will show you some of the sights and sounds and speak to some locals as well as giving a brief overview of the neighborhood.
Triomf is an area famous for being a Poor, White, Afrikaans hood, albeit quite diverse with different ethnicities and walks of life and also a relatively clean and nice area.
...
My initial purpose of doing these videos is to give a glimpse into real life in South Africa, as opposed to what the tourists may show you on their travel vlogs, what the news propaganda shows you and to do away with many misconceptions that people in the international community have of life in South Africa, not only on the political left but also on the right, I aim to provide a balanced, truthful and non sensationalized window into day t day life in Joburg as well as inform.

Thank you my brother, I'm glad you watched it and found it interesting

I now remember Sophiatown, thanks to the SAPS building you showed at the end.

[@MichaelofJohannesburgA1]

Yes, that building is unmistakable, It's also not far from St Nicholas.

[@dauwsteyn6851]

No longer called Triomf. Renamed back to Sophiatown in 2006.
The houses down where the blue house is that you featured are actually housing for Saps. A few of them around the area actually.
Love this neighborhood. Diverse, accepting, tolerant and neighborly

[@MichaelofJohannesburgA1]

Thank you for the comment.. Yes, it is a lovely, safe and friendly area and very well integrated, something that is very nice to see.

Purchase yourself a microphone wind-muff for 10 cents. Impossible to hear the narrative.
