  1. Where is this place pse? If somebody can let me know I will appreciate it? Why are they referred to as poor white? Do we talk of poor blacks or poor Indians? They are just plaine poor people – how difficult can it be?

  2. The lady with the red top has smoked 2 cigarettes in a short period but she is saying I don't know how to feed my children.
    Then in one of the pictures you see a fan blowing ! Anybody knows that fans takes ELECTRICY which costs money ! !
    🙉🙉😡😠🙄

  3. What I don't understand why are some of these people begging for food etc. yet a lot of them are smoking do you know what cigarettes cost today ? Sorry some of these smokers need to think hard.!!

  4. I’m glad I never started smoking. It must be addictive, if parents say they’re struggling to find the resources to feed their child but they magically have the resources to acquire cigarettes.

  5. We must stop this race card kak. Millions of Africans live below these standards. The barbaric thing is Africans have been living like that for years and don't get documentaries like these people.

  6. Not just the white people also Africans. 🇿🇦. Anc government stuffed up South Africa. Highest fraud and corruption in the world is South Africa. High crimes. Illegal migrants in South Africa. 23 000 homeless in Cape Town. Plastic tents.

  7. You white South Africans suffer from Karma. This is how you treat black people in the Netherlands.South African government don't owe you because its Karma. We are sharing rooms in Europe for many years but you don't like it.We share public toilets and shower for many years.We cry every day and white people don't help. They think they own us. When whites were in power blacks were suffering. You became selfish. Who said its only blacks that deserve poverty?You even speak your language in South Africa but still not grateful. You change us language in this Europe by force. Some of you are junkie that's why. You can't even speak English. You speak Netherlands 🇳🇱 language in South Africa.If I remember how your people treated me in the Netherlands as a refugee, I get traumatised. I changed to your neighbour you punished me for years without future in the camp.You want government to buy a house for you. You are unfair.Did you give blacks houses when you was in power?You oppressed others for years and God is watching. You can't even help each other as whites. There many whites that are rich in South Africa, let them help you. Very greedy people.

  8. ACDP is waiting for people like you. ACDP is Christians who are waiting for you to vote for them. Because you want people who can talk too much to promise you empty promise. We are waiting to help you if you can come to your senses like prodigal son.God bless you. Shalom.

  9. Let us get some facts here:
    No 1) POVERTY is "NOT" a respecter of RACES.
    So let us not become "unduely EMOTIONAL.
    No 2)Why can't any of these whites go to RICH AFRICAN neighborhoods and get jobs as housemaids, cleaners or gardeners,drivers?

    No 3) Most of them are just PLAIN "LAZY".

  10. Please note your voice was so soft it was drowned out with the ambiance of the activity, could you lift the volume some, please? Very good work you are doing, bless you all. ☘️🌹👍🙂☘️

  11. The thing is the ANC opened the borders and invited all of Africa to come here, so all can see how big-hearted they are toward their Comrades! They care nothing for their own people let alone any other race of South Africa – face and ego are the criteria of government to show the world their ability to run a country. This is the aftermath of greed and avarice. So many things need to change if only the voters will take note and not blindly believe false promises when they draw that cross on voting day! 😲 WAKE UP PEOPLE?? WAKE UP!!😵

  12. How long did black people have to suffer under the hands of white colonial people like that and now y'all want equal living you should have thought about that when y'all was putting black people down because y'all were white and you all thought y'all were better than black people think about it now😮💯🤬

  13. I pray for those people it's really not a nice to see this, it's really hirds me to see this. I pray today 🙏our mighty GOD JESUS CHRIS our savior who's in Heaven to be with our people that are suffering with no food and shelter, will You be with them my Lord and keep them safe from our enemies,i also pray for our beautiful country South Africa. Thank you my father in Heaven for being here for me and I believe in you my Lord thank 🙏 AMEN ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

  14. Europe should take them in that where they are from catch a boat back eff eff 😢😂😂😂 who can forgive those white people slavery exploitation no way let remember the history of their forefathers as we do😂😂😂😂😢

  15. Unemployment is a probem in SA but show them how to catch a fish rather to let themselves sit and do nothing let us do make use of the available resources by government like in other areas eg soshaquva and mamalodi

  16. Some people like to stay like this in poverty they don't want to chance for a better life because those who host them are getting rich and don't want to registered the project

  17. This is not right yes I am black but I fill the is no equality if we don't work together to fight this demon discrimatio we will be falling both white ab kk and black we all be poor

  18. This is not right yes I am black but I fill the is no equality if we don't work together to fight this demon discrimatio we will be falling both white ab kk and black we all be poor

  19. This is what happens when the free ride off the backs of Africans stops! this should tell everyone watching this when white people claim to be the Captains of Industry it's fuckin 🧢! why can't they pull themselves up by their bootstraps like they told us in America? Because we created everything for them down to the motherfuckin bootstraps! that's why! they never created shit except Apartheid and they didn't even invent that! Karma come to collect

  20. The reality is that in
    general the stinking rich get richer by the day while the poor.destitute.and
    vulnerable citizens.get.ground down
    that they can barely.survive.
    This applies not.only
    In South Africa but.in.many.other countries.
    The rich including a majority of politicians are only concerned about their self enrichment and do nothing to mitigate the plight.of the destitute.
