    This is your opportunity to directly support the people and organizations featured in the documentary: www.share-doc.org/d/69001
    On the streets of Khayelitsha, Cape Town, the struggle for power is a topic of intense debate. This vast township, plagued by high crime, violence, unemployment, and poverty, was established in the mid-1980s during apartheid when black people were forcibly relocated from urban areas. Decades of neglect have allowed gangs and extortion rackets to thrive, bringing terror and misery to millions. Dino and his gang, representative of many young men with limited opportunities, navigate the township with ruthless violence, seeing crime as their only option. At the top of the criminal hierarchy is Mr. X, a figure infamous for extortion, whose operations stifle economic opportunities and deepen the residents' poverty and fear.
    Amidst this bleak landscape, community groups like Langa for Men and leaders like Luyolo offer alternatives to violence. Luyolo mentors young boys and takes them on trips to the ocean, providing hope and an escape from township pressures. Monde, the chairman of the Community Policing Forum, tirelessly advocates for justice, working with the police and community members to improve safety. Complementing his efforts, the women of the neighborhood watch, led by Mamma Fillika, patrol dangerous areas unarmed and unpaid, serving as a powerful deterrent to criminals. This documentary explores the resilience and struggle of those trying to survive in Khayelitsha, highlighting the complex dynamics at play and the ongoing battle between despair and hope.

    While some have given up hope, there are those in Khayelitsha actively pushing for change, refusing to sit by and do nothing. This documentary pivots between the 'good' and the 'bad,' weaving together stories from both sides of the law. It explores the resilience and struggle of those trying to survive, as the police do all they can with limited resources. What does it take to survive living in Khayelitsha? This film seeks to answer that question, shedding light on the complex dynamics at play in one of the world's most challenging environments.

      It's not a joke boet. I work in private security in gauteng. SAPS are prime targets for criminals. They're usually ambushed, killed and their weapons and body armor stolen. If you think its a joke I ask you to sign up for SAPS or private security and try to work in these areas. We're not allowed to go into townships at night without using armoured bakkies and the police usually have to use nyalas to go into certain areas because they get shot at the moment people see them

It is their normal. Fighting crime and earning a living, for their families. Saying a community with challenges should not have children would be futile and inhumane. A better approach would be creating employment and meeting this community at their needs. Alleviating poverty.

Poverty breeds crime, drug abuse, stress, desperation & prostitution amongst other things. That's simple economics all over the world. Making babies is not a must. If you really have the need to breed, the first thing you should do is to secure the future of your kids or else they are going to grow to be criminals or prostitutes and terrorise, bully, mug or even kill harm other kids from good communities calling them cheese boys & cheese girls (jealousy). You are hopeless, you can't even buy basics for yourself but you are busy making babies, where is the sense in that? Why bring poverty into poverty?

But you wouldn't find the ministers or the authorities saying people should not have babies. It's...I don't know. Awkward?

      How can we still have such ignorance .......... let me educate you FIRSTLY they do not control SAPS. This is the job of the national Govt. The DA has been pushing for years to take control of SAPS so that they can tackle crime ... but the govt wont allow them to. Also did you forget that Helen Zille instituted an inquiry into SAPS in this area? The ANC took her to court to stop it and lost! After the inquiry that national government was supposed to implement recommendations to deal with the findings and to this day, they have done NOTHING for the people of Khayelitsha .... so before you make comments like this... get the facts!

My mom was almost raped but a car approached and took her home( I believe that was an angel sent by Jesus). I also remember (lol) there was a dead body outline for a couple of days on the street, such a psychologically twisting thing to see all the time. Living in Cape Town is not glamorous but South Africans especially people of colour are such amazing survivors and so faithful to God, I’m always filled with awe.

    Growing up we knew gangs as the protector of the community, we knew safety (no extortion) because its people we live with in communities. Now we fear even going to the shop, we keep gates locked 24/7. Its really sad I myself live in Khayelitsha and had suffered in hands of gangs unfortunately.

      And also, black people in general are the majority in our country. So the stats will always be skewed when you want to look at things like that. And again, the western cape is doing a pretty good job with services in such high crime areas compared to other poverty stricken areas in Limpopo for example where there are no halls, no libraries, no parks, no public swimming pools, no clinics, no saps, no housing, I could go on. The mere fact that the township is this crowded speaks to the plenty of job opportunities the city creates.

Currently, the three major reasons for crime include a lack of education, living in poverty, and being raised in a single parent home, all of which african governments have allowed to happen for YEARS due to our sell out 'leaders' shamelessly choosing to indulge in corruption and treachery, turning a blind eye on the severe consequences on their own people. For as long as we don't all realise the need for us to mobilize and confront our problems as a collective , this lawlessness that we shall continue witnessing and or experiencing will only get much worse .

      @@kholiswamnyazana1292 😅I get you. But that’s always the case for everyone, your first few months/year in a new place will be hard but eventually you get used to it. I think that struggle is better than being exposed to gangsterism, that’s just my view🤷‍♂️

    I work a lot in the slums. khayelitsha slum Cape Town south Africa Mathare slums in kenya and the life there is poor and very sad. And I've always taught to myself to look for the beauty of it and look in the beauty of the faces of the children and to be grateful.
