With a population of nearly six million, Cape Town is the second city of South Africa. Many of the richest people in the country have ocean villas there. But there is a dark side to this breathtakingly beautiful city. Three thousand people a year are murdered in Cape Town, making it the most dangerous city in Africa.
Shootings are commonplace, especially in the townships. Some townships have become no-go areas, plagued by murders, violent robberies and illicit trade of every kind. The police are pushed beyond their limits by the level of violence. Many locals choose to carry guns to defend themselves. Some even turn vigilante, while the middle classes barricade themselves into houses that are increasingly heavily fortified.
When they do leave their homes, people are constantly on the alert for potential threats. Last year over 18,000 people in South Africa were the victims of a carjacking at gun point. People have little to no faith in the police, as so many of these crimes remain unsolved. Some invest in panic buttons which they always carry with them. Just one quick press of the red button, and an armed response team from a private company rushes to the client’s rescue.
Manenberg, 15 kilometres from the city centre, serves as headquarters for a notorious gang who call themselves “The Americans.” They are violent drug dealers who flood the streets of Manenberg with “tik” a local version of crystal meth. Their rivals the “Dixie Boys” run protection rackets, and the gangs frequently fight for territory.
The police struggle to enforce the law, but the gangsters have no fear of prison. On the contrary, it helps them to gain status with their peers. Witnesses often refuse to speak to the police in fear of their lives.
With interviews and exceptional access, this film tells the tragic stories of beautiful Cape Town, one of the most dangerous cities in the world.
This film was first released in 2022.

You need to take the statistics and put it into context else you are spreading fake news. You need to look at WHO (which demographic) the statistics reflect. The statistics show that the vast majority of these deaths and casualties are young men aged 14-30 years old that live in townships where gangsterism is rife. These casualties are due to gang violence between other gang members in the bid for territory and resources. These are poverty stricken township communities where resources and access to opportunities and social mobilisation are severely lacking. Unless you are a gangster or are living in those communities you are not in danger of losing your life. I used to work in the most dangerous gang-ridden communities for years in Cape Town, so I know first hand of what I'm talking about. The reality is that these gangs are formed out of the need for survival and there is a whole story there to unpack that is untold. It is heartbreaking. Please do your homework properly before painting a picture that portrays the image that the city is dangerous. The truth is that there are poverty stricken communities in the city that are dangerous just like everywhere else in the world.

This is fake news. You need to look at the statistics properly to draw accurate conclusions. The statistics show that the vast majority of the deaths and casualties are among young men aged 14-30 years old in poverty striken township communities. Most of these deaths are gang related and are as a result of skirmishes for territory and resources. A lot of the young men recruited into these gangs are forced into it while they are children. That means their decision to be part of these gangs are sorely based on survival ironically. If they decide to leave they are killed. There is a whole story about this that is untold. I have worked in the most dangerous communities in Cape Town for years, so I know first hand of what I am taking about. Please do your homework properly before you start giving people the false perception that their lives are imminently in danger if they visit or live in Cape Town. Cape has impoverished dangerous communities just like everywhere else in the world.

South Africa is more-or-less a failed state now. The Governments have had massive income at their disposal for decades since Apartheid ended. They're no longer at war with all their neighbours, they have wonderful land and all kinds of mineral resources. The place ought to be booming. There should have been affordable housing projects, schools and new hospitals and clinics sprouting up everywhere. This would have led to growth and jobs and hope. Alternatively, you can build mansions for all your supporters, buy them BMW cars and set up fake businesses to launder the Government money into personal bank accounts. They have now a long established political class which is an organised Kleptocracy. It doesnt matter who you vote for, or what they promised - They WILL steal all the money as first order of business. Its a heartbreaker. I remember the hope everyone had when Mandela was released from jail. But they held him 20 years too long. His wife had become a political party on her own and out of control. And he was released as a lost old man surrounded by younger and greedier people who'd used the ANC as a ladder to personal wealth. I personally used to think that 'white flight' was about racism - white people refusing to accept one person, one vote. Now 20 years later, you realise that these were ordinary people, plumbers, engineers, mechanics and their families who couldnt survive the lawlessness and crime going on. Not rich enough to have teams of armed guards and so on - what kind of choice did they have?

You have no idea what a failed state is if you think SA is a failed state. It still functions even with all its corruption. No one is saying it’s good but to jump to call it a failed state is ridiculous. Visit Somalia just once and you’ll understand what a real failed state is and how it “operates”.

@Boviss1Bovis Ай бұрын

@@modernmelbourneman 'Failed State' is a relative term. What I said was that S.A. was more-or-less a failed state. Its like a sugar lump placed on a saucer full of water. It retains its form for a good long while even though it is dissolving inexorably. Its like that with countries too. Somalia was on its way to failed statehood during the time of Siad Barre -after his coup of 1969 led to the destruction of state institutions and kleptocracy. In Lebanon, also a more or less failed state, the crunch came during the civil war in the 1970's and Israeli invasion. Both of these sugar lumps have taken decades to finally collapse into chaos and one has dissolved more than the other - but the process has been the same. South Africa isnt quite there yet. But all the failures and bad governance/corruption is alive and well. And once this process starts, it seems theres no way back.

Used to visit Cape Town back in 2016/2017 and, thankfully, did not experience any kind of crime. We had a wonderful time and the sights such as the table mountain, the va waterfront, the cape point are spectacular, however, all of the villas/houses surrounded by high metal and/or concrete fences do provide quite a feeling that you re not safe at all, i.e. that there the dangers are outside, not inside the fences and the overall athmosphere in CPT is tense

It’s a beautiful country, but can be very unsafe if you are foolish or unfortunate enough to wander into the wrong area. JBurg is a whole other level of violence, with cash transit vans being robbed on the highways in scenes reminiscent of the wild west. There are frequent “load shedding” periods (scheduled power outages) and when that happens it is best to be indoors somewhere. Corruption and greed.

Having lived in this country on and off with my job . it is far worse off now than it was under White rule back in the 80s , there was gangs and murders but not on the scale as it is now , and the SAP (south African police ) was not totally corrupt , as it is now , Back in the 80s they where better trained unlike now , jobs are given away to people in your own Tribe and not given to people who are better suited to do the job . all the infrastructure in this country is falling apart , power cuts , water cuts , power stations in poor conditions , sewage plants not working , crime massively increasing every day , its corrupt from the Top politicians to the bottom police man and every one in the middle . The country is amazing place and i love it , and the people too .its a shame African country's go this way .

As a tourist , my impression of Cape Town is that is a city of extreme contrasts , the city has lots of upmarket shopping centres , high quality hotels and beautiful homes and some high quality suburbs . I have walked around the streets in the inner city late at night without any problems . The majority of problems that occur in Cape Town occur in areas well away from the city centre where tourists don't usually travel to . Those who don't like extreme hot weather , Cape Town is ideal as the weather there is very moderate . One of the main problems with South Africa is the electricity supply because each day the electricity is turned off in all areas for a certain amount of hours per day or night which is not a good safety procedure and it is predicted that it will take many years before the electricity supply will get back to normal .

Smashed my bag with the two 2l bottles of soda at the guys head and left him lying on the street, running back to my hotel with my friend. That was the last time I visited.

The city center is the most beautiful part of a city in the world in my opinion, having visited a lot of cities like Paris, Prague, Barcelona, Jerusalem, Bend, OR, Sedona, AZ… But it’s very de facto segregated. It’s amazing the contrasts in Cape Town and South Africa as a whole. I remember seeing a Ferrari driving through Soweto next to shanty houses.. and across the street there was a brand new enormous fitness center. Super crazy place. But you can safely drink the tap water pretty much everywhere.
