Exploring the DARK SIDE of JOHANNESBURG
Vložit

- Is Johannesburg the most dangerous city in the world? This is the question asked by the very serious The Guardian a few years ago.
Murders, kidnappings, armed attacks: tourists who would like to visit the economic capital of South Africa are the subject of numerous warnings by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
In this travel diary, Christophe Hondelatte, the true crime specialist shows us around the city.
Accompanied by South African journalists specializing in crime, Christophe Hondelatte multiplies the strong experiences: he embarks with police officers launched into a chase at more than 120mph, participates in a clandestine rodeo with stolen cars, visits a prison where the detainees cram sixty into each cell or even roam a nature reserve threatened by poachers...
But Johannesburg also has its specificities: satanic crimes, “corrective” sexual assaults on lesbians, sorcerers who protect criminals… So many dark facets of Johannesburg that Christophe Hondelatte and director Lionel Langlade will introduce us to, by meeting culprits and victims, repentant criminals , mercenary police officers and thugs…
Sometimes frightening, sometimes moving but always powerful, these encounters tell us a lot about South African society and about Johannesburg, a multicultural city which never really recovered from Apartheid...

So strange to have an English translator talking over English.
Annoying too
Possibly because some of what they say is inaudible
Unneccessary and somewhat disresrespectful..acting like the english spoken in SA is inaudible
Because southafricans have heavy africunts accents.
its youtube generated, the original video has french audio (translating the english to french) so now the auto english audio goes over the audio of the video.
Despite all the problems, all the issues. Africa is in my blood, something you cant explain. I love my country, and its culture and its beauty. I was born here and I will die here.
You dead already
what culture are you talking about?
what do you want?
Better than Europe
Shame!!!!
Watched this till the end, though translation from south African English to American English wasn't necessary
I scheme you wouldn't check if I tuned something like ''the bakkie is at the robot'', verstaan?
The host is French. Also maybe they did it so that the non SA audience can understand because some of the words we use aren't the same as the words Americans use.
Remember south african speak 12 officials languages so he wanted this documentary in English,e.g people speaking zulu or tswana so he must translate into English so everyone to understand
us 'average' people enjoyed the needed translation
Dutch from the 19th century? They have been here since the 16th hundreds my man
Does not matter how you "protect" your house - these people know how to get in - no matter what. They climb over electric fences, climb through bugler bars, knows how to bypass alarm systems, poison dogs, etc. Keep in mind - lots of inside jobs too - Police and security also involved and take part in the crime. If they want in, they will come in - I am a victim.
Such true wording 👍
The police in South Africa have all the resources, they even sell some to these criminals
Such old Footage. Please update description as this is not recent Footage. Looks like 2009/2010 based on various landmark updates within the Footage.
From the calendar at 33:20 it is either 2012 or 2018. Probably 2012 based on everything else.
Yes its old footage. You dont see many white police these days except the few older ones from those days before Zuma
This is very old indeed.
Citi Golf Cop Car.. Old font on the Bryanston Rylaan freeway sign. I'm saying 2008.
Still worth watching to see how more it floating in kak
Presenter sounds like has a personal vendetta 😂😂😂😂
Can a South African Journalist be allowed to conduct such documentary in France?
Yes, it is called "freedom of press". France is not a communist country like China.
never
This concern, shared, must cover all foreigners, form this continent and beyond.
Never@@stanleynkosikamthembu168
Paris doesn’t have the same level of crime does it?
All the people who can leave, do. The level of violence is so vicious its surreal. The country will implode due to the rampant corruption. Everything is collapsing.
It is really sad for the good and kind people of Africa. Such a beautiful place, for there ro be so much violence and pain and corruption. It is really sad.
@@tommybutler2454 well, the "good and kind people" of Africa should collectively stand against this more, maybe?
Welcome ro San Francisco - California - USA we been in this for years
:) Many come back, the grass is not greener on the other side.
@@1st-1astI was born and raised in South Africa and have lived in a visited San Francisco often….. believe me when I tell you, San Francisco is nothing like and never will be anything like South Africa. Just go to Johannesburg for a few days and wonder around and see for yourself.
you're reporting as if there is no crime somewhere else nd you portray every one as violent, you're reporting as if you were in war zone.little exaggerated.on my side am not from here but I can tell you there is a lot of good things to tell about south Africans . They are friendly, loving, kind, fun loving, tolerant compared to others nd many more to tell I wish better days will come nd we all live in harmony together. May God bless nd prosper them
Since 1994 we became the 3rd most violent country in the world, its not a picnic staying here.
it literally said most people are peaceful
@@HansCocheWork is moving me and my young family to waterfall midrand. Now am really concerned. Is the midrand area equally as bad?
Bro all that tragedy in south africa is not the legacy of apartheid, its the legacy of the ANC , theyve had 30 years and have done nothing to help their own people.
The anc mindset is a product of oppression and brutalization…
Jy praat kak
Unfortunately this behaviour was the cause of apartheid. Not the result.
@@DefenderPuma the result of apartheid trauma and poverty imposed on innocent people is what you see… there is absolutely no excuse for apartheid… are you South African?
@DefenderPuma you obviously don't come from South Africa , the people now have every opportunity and still nothing ever happens to the country
''Many years, many cold drinks''....😂😂you get it? If you dont get it forget about it.....
Yeh he nodded and smiled, didn't know what a cooldrink meant :D
I've been to South Africa a few times for work (high-risk security). Every time I was told to get a gun (and it's not at all hard) and after seeing how that country is I wouldn't blame anyone in that country for feeling like they need to own at least one firearm. I felt safer in Kabul than I did in Johannesburg.
Why is there an interpreter? All they are doing is repeating English.
cause the documentary is a French documentary the original voice is in french that why the title is in french
Because people are speaking 11 officials languages so he want everyone to understand the documentary by translating everything in English
because it wasn't made personally for you? some people will complain about ANYTHING....
@@ThurstonWatt I'm not complaining. The question is why just repeat English? If someone doesn't understand English repeating isn't going to make them understand.
She's only 15, and we can't even hide her face OMG
Thankyou for bringing awareness off this,Regards from South Africa
People dont understand a thief will brake in your house if no one is home. But if someone breaks in your house and you are there they have different intensions so even with cameras and alarm going of the criminals dont care and thats where you have to protect yourself and your Family.
Je suis Algérien et je constate que la situation sécuritaire en France est hors de contrôle la délinquance est à un niveau inimaginable........que fait le gouvernement ...
Et ton pays 😂😂???
@@zikorioImazighen😂
C est voulu!
(qu'importe d'avoir un passeport suisse; change rien) situation sécuritaire en roue libre, y compris une criminalité affectant une génération de plus en plus jeune, sont en expansion quasiment partout dans le monde (sauf Cuba et Corée du Nord) le politique, monarchie ou dictature etc. fait comme nous : spectateur, 🌞
I am an American in France and this is an incredibly safe country to live in.
I am SA and I'm 63 years old and South Africa has always been a country of crime. Even in apartheid years ...we could not walk the streets at night. Both parents carried guns and we were robbed 3 or 4 times a year....it's not new.
We accustomed to crime and we live with it on a daily bases. Africa is special...no matter what we love it.
Since ANC government. Crimes has increases 500 percent. No hope in South Africa banana Republic.
That is not the truth! I grew up in a town in the (Eastern Province), and we could walk home from church on a Sunday evening, or on a Thursday evening after our choir practice. Nothing ever happened to us. We were safe walking home after a social evening in our church hall, or coming home from watching a movie at the cinema on a Saturday evening during our teenage years. Not all the towns and cities of South Africa has 'always' been crime ridden.
My siblings and I lived a comfortable, safe live when we grew up in South Africa, unlike the terrible crime that is happening there, these days. Really so sad.
I thank God that I moved to a different Continent, where I am well looked after, well provided financially, and safe.
I disagree, my grandmother used to tell me that they used to walk at night to catch a bus , and they didn't have any fear and nothing would happen to them, children would play in the street half naked , and there were no problems against them like child kidnapping/rape. There was no Nyaupe/ Heroine drugs, which is the biggest cause of our high crime rate especially in burglary. Well drugs started when the government opened the borders of the country without proper control, and drugs found their way into the community so easily.
Maybe because you stayed in a gang festered area. Crime has increased ten fold since the early 90's.
you talk kak
Voilà ce qui attend d autres pays......merci les politiciens ......
😂😂😂😂 THIS HAS BEEN HAPPENING IN THE USA SINCE FOREVER
Come to Durban if you really want to see crime out of control
Soon i will be showing my durban documentary
Not true, Cape Town is the most dangerous, coloured gangs everywhere.
@@grandsharpTV is it out let us know.
Is this a competition who has more out of control crime in our country?
😂😂😂@@AlexThaKingZA

am still crying😭 even today mfanakithi ngale nsizwa izinja e soweto✊Lang's👊🤘
Glad the real new south africa is being shown to the whole world. The new goverment has failed south africa and its people.
OLD FOOTAGE FROM 2012 BUT ITS VERY INFORMATIVE!!!
The doccie seems old, if that’s the case the crime is much more worse than this currently. It’s actually very sad.
L'Afrique du Sud a bien changé depuis les années 90 .
well done People from Alexandra..you are winning at least better than saps
This documentary was made in 2012
Much more worse now
So? It didn't get better.
In south Africa, arrest can be made. The issue is when it comes to conviction
Crime is a very complex issue in South Africa. Despite the massive unemployment, the majority of those unemployed do not turn to crime to survive. Much of the serious crime and drug related crimes are controlled by organised crime. You should ask how the criminals get their intelligence on where to strike and what they are likely to get. The answer would shock you. 70% of house robberies and business robberies are committed by people who have good inside knowledge of the target before they go in. Gun safe? The last place I would recommend the storing of any weapon would be the gun safe. You only have a gun safe so that the SAPS can check up that you have one to comply with the licensing requirements. Once they have checked, you don't use it again.
Entièrement d'accord avec vous c'est un de mes rêves de visité quelle magnifique pays vive l'Afrique du Sud.
@aurelienmailland7131; pour moi, il est hors de question que je mette mes pieds dans un pays pareil (au moins 58 meurtres par jour, au moins 5800 viols ou tentatives de viols par jour, au moins 500 braquages à mains armés...etc)
Very beautiful. Visit the Mpumalanga province, I'd take you around
Cape Town plenty🇿🇦 crimes and shootings every day
Ziyakhala on full episode. good job the guys are making.
This was clearly made 15-20 years ago.
Things are very bad. Some people are in denial.
I think of all the people that have fled South Africa. Now I think about whats happening in those countries, Canada, the US, the UK . . . It seems like theyre headed the same way as my country. The irony
Europe new immigration laws. Massive deportions of illegal migrants. Even 2 am in the morning. I was in Britain. Kicked out after six years. More businesses closing down in South Africa every day. Next shell oil leaving South Africa.
Nonsense bra...
You just say that to justify your TRAUMA BOND with the anc...
Cried my beloved country😢Politicians think it's a joke, but that's the norm 4 the ordinary cried 4 what it used 2 be😢😢😢😢 cry my beloved S A, sitizens r on their own... in a kraal with lions 😢
If you go to a place looking for a certain narrative you will find it. South Africa is not one particular thing.
Plse do a documentary on the Senzo Meyiwa courtcase ..
In SA Pretoria Highcourt
I love some answer to a question_ from presenter,- to game reserve team👌
Big up to the team 🎉
Alexandra un quartier très dangereux à Johannesburg
That prison looks like a fecking hotel compared to the main prisons in this country. They even hace a TV
did your cellblock have Wi-Fi ?
10:20 is not only racism but can create criminals. You will never understand how much anger, trauma comes from being stopped in such a manner, guns drawn, when you have done fu#ckall wrong.
Mr Christophe hondelatte. Ce Mr me fascine
Why does he sound like an anime character during the narration
This ended rather abrumptly. Where is the very ending? Seems like a nice chap, he really enjoyed his time in SA despite of the attroucities the people were explaining. He led this documentary well, giving enough space to the ones he interviewed. Just when you'd ask, why is everybody so violent over there, he goes on asking it. Well done! I tell you the JUSTICE that is needed to solve this miserable situation. Landreform! Mandela promised compensation. That was 35+ years ago and nothing happened. Why? Th ANC failed miserably helping their own people so to speak. The black communities are still jam-packed in shanty towns. Why? Create residential areas, houses with running water, electricity and go from there. The bare minimum. This mad world is using money & resources for wars when it'd be just a fraction of it to build and create. PEACE IS CHEAPER. Much much cheaper. Our higher-ups worldwide couldn't earn if we all loved one another. Bless HERIETTA & BABA, they really are doing their mostest to inspire, to protect and live by example. This is not a walk in the park to live in SA in general.. Thank you for th upload, xx..
No one should have to live like this
Most of us choose to be here, we love our city and each other.
On a l impression que ce pays est en pleine décadence...........un peu comme la F.
Unemployment and therefore Poverty are closer to the roots of this problem. If the economy continues to grow at the snail's pace like it is now, and there's no fundamental change in the very fabric of South African society from driven by fundamental and holistic government policy (Intellectual, Economic and Social), the poor will always come for the bread of the rich. Inequality in South Africa is the highest of any nation on earth and unless the country takes concrete measures to genuinely bridge the divide, this will never stop. The only winners are security companies who get paid well as tensions continue to simmer and boil over.
he thing is that the african is the poorest continent on earth as well as the one having the biggest population boom in history at the same time, so no matter how fast SA can devellop itself there will still be an illimited number of uneducated and poor african coming from all across the contienent, it's almost impossible to solve this dynamic since african dont seem to be ready for devellopement
We're not poor in terms of the fertility of the land and natural resources. It's just been passed from the hands of one master to another. Only South Africans can fix South Africa.
Its not strange. Theres no accountability however there cars are over a million but they cannot even give a car or team to be accountable for a suburb, town or whatsoever. Eventually you'll see them up and down doing nothing. Cars are never available when you call for a crime scene, the car is used for personal use instead of community
Thanks for great documentary! Very eye opening
TIA! THIS IS AFRICA! If you westerners cannot comprehend how life is in SA, you can not judge how we protect ourselves.
New Zealand is headed this way. People will have to start arming themselves to protect themselves from criminals who are hardly punished.
And poachers should be treated the way they treat the animals they hunt.
It's getting that way here in Australia and in most other Western countries too.
Australia and most other Western countries are going to end up like South Africa in 5 to 10 years time.
One of the untold stories of South Africa
Wow, I had no idea as a white woman living in Joburg I was meant to be against black men living in Joburg. To think I've been friends with my enemies all this time.
11:40. This ex special forces guy is really quick to arrive. There’s at least 12 other vehicles there.
Ce qui se passe en Afrique du Sud est plus pire que ça
La sécurité devient une obsession lorsque les disparités sociales sont très grande
Ce qui crée de la frustration et un esprit de vengeance tres acerbé
Vivant dans un pays aux différences de richesses exacerbées, mais aux mœurs différentes, j'en conclu qu'il vous faut voyager plus. 34:11
les disparités sociales sont enormes au japon, hors c'est le pays avec le moins de criminalité au monde.
La pauvreté n'a jamais été la cause de la sauvagerie, cest plutot l'inverse, la sauvagerie ne mène qu'a la destruction et a la pauvreté.
Policing is a waste of our taxpayer money coz criminals are out the next day
Police stop you search your car and steal your stuff
You call Police to your house because someone broke in, the police end up stealing more
SAPS = Warriors!! Proud of you guys 👊
Our beloved Africa
Slt & RESPECT à vous . Reportage de .... 2012.....Douze Ans plus tard 🤔🤔🤔🤔
Do you think the situation has become better? I don't think so.
Je suis algérien ,j'ai perdu un cousin assassiné lâchement à johanesbourg pour avoir refusé de se faire racketer par des noirs.Pauvre Nelson mandela
Vraiment ? Je suis algérien aussi et je comptait me rendre a Johannesburg pour 2 semaines mais en regardant ce documentaire je commence a douter sérieusement à partir la bas.
C'est sur que Nelson avait la grandeur du lion emprisonné, puis relâché, qui n'a jamais cherché à mordre son geôlier. On en est pas au même point, chez vos généraux, qui vous font croire que vos moindre malheurs sont du fait de l'ancien bienfaiteur.
16 yrs thato left children, at what age he started having children 🤔
Now all the criminals know she lives alone and what her number plate is ands .🙈
you said it, 13 police cars and a helicopter for a simple burglary...
but for a murder they are scares... welcome to SA
I thought the exact same thing... it was just after the journalist mentions that the are severe capacity constraints in the police. 🤔 Well. maybe it is because everyone is at the same crime scene. I couldn't quite understand why.
The silver taxi bumping that guy there wasn't in Bloemfontein and not Johannesburg ?
23:10 Look at this ancient CRT-TV. A cathode ray tube TV. The precursor to the flat screen TV. In a rich people's home?!
This documentary must be from the 1990s/early 2000s?!
Golf 6 in the 90’s 2000’s?
It’s 20011/2012 based on the boy’s shooting
Definitely shot after 2010 as we only had the Gautrain when the World cup happened
😂😂😂 they probably think the rich are currently using Motorola V360's 😂😂😂
2012
“€1.50. Already expensive for a South African” like what tf is that? 😂
Documentary made long ago I guess 2012. If they have to remake it now it will be banned and censored.
why is it solved now? much safer?
Not surprised,,,,😮
That guy Baba is an amazing man to overcome his sadness and rage to go on to doing really good work for the benefit of others, that takes incredible strength courage and intelligence. Also the woman who was r*ped, she was hurt badly, yet she is extremely passionate about teaching her students. So many injustices, no wonder the country is volatile.
The editing is too much really
So:
Showing the lady's vehicle reg
Showing her house security
Showing her safe
Mentioned she lives alone
That part is not owk. Not sure if criminals watch these documentary but that infortmation was just too much.
the 5.56 semi auto he is allowed to carry as a PSO is a LM5 and a variant of the Israeli Galil
Finally someone commented on that mistake. I shook my head man.
When are you going to explore the bright side of Johannesburg?
This doc was probably made around 2012, when local currency was around 10ZAR/EUR. This assumption is based on the part in the video, where the presenter converts the price of drugs from 15ZAR to 1.5€.
great reporting violence can be systematic
39:00 c'est une prison en Afrique en plus tu t'attendais à une prison Suisse lol petite boutade merci pour tout les différents reportages que tu fais aussi les autres qui sont pas Passeport pour le crime comme à l'époque de Faite entrée... je les aiment tous
"but there so many unemployed people, how must they live? so they live thru crime" that lady's comment at 17:30 gave me chills😔
But it's true. If everyone were employed in respectable careers nobody would find the incentive to steal
Comment ça, Jérémy son compagnon ?😮
Ahiii, c'est un couple gay ?
Tchrrr nonsense
Depuis 2012.....c est devenue bien pire semble t il........
How recent is this?
Asking myself the same question
2012
UN PAYS MERVEILLEUX ❤
In your dreams 😅
J'ai trouvé l'année du reportage grâce à l'affaire Tatho: 2012. Cela explique bien des choses...
Merci
Living here in South Africa is like living in the very middle of the Rainforest jungle.
Why??????
You're mad
"You do what I'm saying not what I'm doing"
19min55 -> Quand Christophe Hondelatte tir, je suis le seul choqué par le formateur sans protections dans les oreilles ? Il forme la fille pareil ? Attendez il est formateur et ne se protège jamais ?? Vous savez le bruit que provoque un coup de feu ? C'est dingue de voir encore ça.
Would someone please tell me if fire-weapons in South-Africa are legal?
Yes they are
If acquired legally lol.
@@ElLebza 100% correct
Can someone tell the journalist that being restricted to film doesn't mean sneak in with your phone's camera
😢😢🤦🏿♂️🤦🏿♂️🤦🏿♂️🤦🏿♂️🙏🏿🙏🏿🙏🏿🙏🏿
Not bad its ok to watch.
