This thriving residential and business center incorporates the Waterkloof Air Force Base and the Swartkop Air Force Base, as well as the SuperSport Park cricket grounds, home to the Titans cricket team. Centurion, previously known as Verwoerdburg and before that Lyttelton, is a thriving residential and business center located in the Gauteng Province of South Africa. Here's a brief overview of its story: Early History • Prehistoric Times: Evidence suggests that hominids lived in the vicinity of Centurion between 2 and 3 million years ago. • 1200 AD: Black African communities settled in the area, cultivating lands, grazing cattle, and making earthenware containers. 19th Century • 1841: The Erasmus family arrived and settled in the area. Several suburbs like Erasmia, Elardus Park, Zwartkop, and Doornkloof were named after members of this family. • 1881: The Battle of Rooihuiskraal took place during the First Boer War, where a Boer commando defeated the British garrison. 20th Century • 1995: The area was renamed Centurion, moving away from the apartheid-associated name Verwoerdburg. • 2000: Centurion became part of the City of Tshwane Metropolitan Municipality. Modern Developments • Irene Link Precinct: A significant mixed-use development with retail, office, and residential spaces. • Century Mall Centurion: A super-regional mall that underwent a R1.06 billion overhaul. • Gautrain Centurion Station: Part of the major Gautrain infrastructure project, enhancing connectivity. Centurion is now a bustling hub with shopping malls, the South African Air Force Museum, and the SuperSport Park cricket grounds. It's a blend of historical significance and modern development.

BLACK GOVERNMENT? 😆 A DISASTER, CORRUPT & INEPT, IT'S THE PRIVATE SECTOR CARRYING MOST OF THE WEIGHT, SA BECOME A DE FACTO COMMUNIST STATE THANKS TO THE INSIDIOUS ANC COMMUNIST CRIMINAL CABAL 😑 🇿🇦
To ANY South African considering leaving your country to live in the U.K - DON’T!!! We have nothing anywhere near as modern or pleasant as the places this guy shows in his videos Ok so we have ancient history and lovely villages but nobody can afford to live in those places Our towns are all run down, lack investment and are in decline (some very seriously) Our cities all play second fiddle to London which is so expensive it’s pricing itself out of reach for anyone but millionaires in any respect Taxes and cost of living are among the highest in the world Relative to income standard of living is in serious decline with a growing, high percentage of working people living in poverty or relative poverty The place is dirty, in disrepair and has a failing infrastructure Your Rand won’t touch the sides here and if you decide to move to the U.K expect to take a significant drop in your standard of living Honestly? Just stay in SA - or go to Australia or New Zealand instead
Growning up that lake toll used be beautiful with boat in it.Our government really failed us they had tried a few year ago to clean it up and as far as I know the had planned a Symbio city project back in 2013 which never saw the light of day.
There is a team that regularly cleans up the Hennops river. The problem starts upstream, and especially during heavy rains all the rubbish from upstream flows down the river through Centurion. Tarryn Johnston and her team from Hennops River Revival really try their utmost best, but with the amount of pollution upstream, it really is a herculean task to clean it up…

BLACK GOVERNMENT? 😆 A DISASTER, CORRUPT & INEPT, IT'S THE PRIVATE SECTOR CARRYING MOST OF THE WEIGHT, SA BECOME A DE FACTO COMMUNIST STATE THANKS TO THE INSIDIOUS ANC COMMUNIST CRIMINAL CABAL 😑 🇿🇦
Oh please stop lying 😂
One thing about Centurion besides all the beautiful amenities its is very “Homely”❤❤❤
Thanks so much to your channel, it makes me so enthusiastic to leave my country and go live in Great South Africa.
So beautiful 😍
Great video David but I'm seriously appalled by that lake's condition 🤦🏿♂️ heads have to roll.
9:33 ah yes! Irene link shopping centre, I highly recommend you try the Daily Cafe next time you’re there. Food and coffee is to die for
I am concerned about sinkholes in centurion
Pretoria my home town💃💃🇿🇦🇿🇦

Our towns are all run down, lack investment and are in decline (some very seriously)
Our cities all play second fiddle to London which is so expensive it’s pricing itself out of reach for anyone but millionaires in any respect
Taxes and cost of living are among the highest in the world
Relative to income standard of living is in serious decline with a growing, high percentage of working people living in poverty or relative poverty
The place is dirty, in disrepair and has a failing infrastructure
Your Rand won’t touch the sides here and if you decide to move to the U.K expect to take a significant drop in your standard of living
Honestly? Just stay in SA - or go to Australia or New Zealand instead
Thank you for your brutal honesty.
@ if you like bad weather, bad food and love knife crime then by all means - come and live in the U.K
Australia and New Zealand are in big decline

Thanks for sharing the amazing info!
CENTURION CITY IS BEAUTIFUL AND CLEAN 👌👌👌, except the lagoon with floating items because of the Rain as the UA-camr said
Hi @livinginSaTV, you missed the recent cricket test match in Centurion by The Proteas and Pakistan. Would have been great for a feature in your video
I was not invited 😂
❤❤❤❤
I love centurion
Thank You Lord Jesus Christ for bringing me to South Africa 🇿🇦🙏
Amen!
Where is this place called the dairy???
Where is it situated?
Irene Dairy Farm, on Nellmapius Rd
Centurion Mall is terribly designed, the restaurants should all face the lake, it’s a horrible unwelcoming development now
We all agree that is not a mall at all 😜🤐🙊
Centurion is too quiet .. boring😢
That means it is a good place to settle down. 😄
Wait, you want noise?
@@tsietsionthego872 Not really. Maybe a bit busy and lively like Midrand
Nice to see South Africa but video shows far too many uninteresting pieces.
That's Centurion, it is what it is.
