      True bro. Ain't nothing to fear there. Now go to town in Jo'burg at night and try walk around like that.. or better yet how 'bout you try Wesbury or Reigerpark. No I take that back my friend. Don't do that.. nonetheless good content. Keep doing your thing bro. One love!

    The neighborhood looks like the average in most parts of the world, certainly in the U.S. The area looks good. It looks like the people, despite their economic challenges, take pride in their neighborhood.

    I'm a product of Alex born and raised, it's a nice township but you're not really in Alexandra from that area, you should've started from Pan Africa where Alexandra starts from 1st street going down to the last street 22nd Avenue and I'm from 21st Avenue, back in the 90's my 21st and 22nd Avenue where the most feared places

    Well, you are a strong confident person, nobody will mess with you. That said everyone was minding their own business anyway! It seems most people can afford satellite TV, or have the good sense to form clubs and share the expense. A real pleasure to see such large areas in Alex transforming into ordinary suburbs like any other in the city. People are people, those that are prepared to put in the effort will always improve their lives, those that expect to have lif handed to them on a plate won't. It is the same the world over, not a SA problem. Many thanks.

    These are great videos and that's really great advice! Be confident and recognise your fellow human beings even if you're in a strange neighbourhood and your fellow human beings will recognise you too. Very few people are unstable to the extent that they go out of their way to look for trouble. Most often, even a 'tsotsi' just wants to be decently treated like a fellow human being

    • @Walk_Africa
      @Walk_Africa  Рік тому

      U right, but I think since Alex is an old location built under a certain plan that is an old plan I think thus why.
      Houses very close to the streets and smaller yards.

    Thanks for the video and the amazing view, but my advice to you is that making this kind of video next time, especially in this kind of area, you can tell that it is not just like the other places you have must been to freely, and could tell at some point fear grab you, but you had not option but to keep walking and moving, and it is good to tell your viewer the reality, it is just about proving people wrong whether the place is feared or fearless, there are so many factor that are at stake here, time of the day, place to be specific within the neighborhood, are you a resident or not, are all factored in, so even if you are not attack or it might look innocent at certain part of the day, doesn't rule out the fact that it can be feared.
