    My home town. I still live in Lavender Hill, Hill View actually. And yeah, this is our daily life on the Cape Flats, ghetto gangland. Our prayer is that God would start a revival within Lavender Hill and across the Cape Flats, Delft, Hanover Park, Mananberg, Mitchell’s Plain etc…in the mighty name of Jesus.

    Great video. Correction though. Lavender Hill came to the fore in the late 60's. I lived and grew up on the other side of the M5 in Steenberg. What you do during the day is what I do during the night, in the greater Mitchell's Plain area. Hair raising stuff. So many Capetonians are oblivious to what goes on in these crime ridden areas. Thank you and be careful out there.

    I appreciate the fact that you share the political factors, from the past regime, that led to the current state of the areas you are driving through in your videos. There is so much work to be done by those in government if only they were focused and real patriots.
