Into The Shadows: Inside Johannesburg's Underworld (Crime Documentary) | Real Stories
Each day thousands of forced migrants flood into Johannesburg in search of a better life. Many have risked their lives to cross South Africa’s borders, and in their desperation resort to the only accommodation they can afford: the slum buildings of the inner city of Johannesburg. The slum buildings are vertical squatter camps – far more…

"Forced migrants," "forced" by what?
I had no idea of how human being in Africa are being abused
Denouncing our country while living in it, if you think SA is bad, go back home!
Migrants are not forced. Spare a thought for all the unemployed South Africans displaced by illegal immigrants. A beautiful city is in ruins as are the surrounding areas. It's is totally unsustainable – flooding is the word used – people flooding into South Africa are overwhelming services that local taxpayers fund – all the remittances sent out of the country are putting the economy at further risk. Misguided do-gooders are creating a problem that causes ripples across the region. It is certain that many ex-Renamo and other criminals have entered and live shielded by this sympathy – any criticism is called xenophobia, but please name a country without borders. Ironically South Africans need visas to enter these countries. Corruption in Home Affairs was fueled by illegal immigration – why would locals have to use bribes? People had democracy while SA was under apartheid and people in exile were held in camps – not welcomed into communities and given jobs.
You are invading our country as a alien as you ran away from your country, we could have understand if you came to train military like we did to go back and fight for your country not stay and speak nonsense you have no right you are just a coward alien
South Africans need healing,the wounds of oppression are still apparent and have made our brothers and sisters in SA lose their way. We hope you'll heal before the next century.
What will it takes for africans to develop their countries? Look at the way they treat each other in their own countries abut they come to europe they complain about racism. They want equal rights. Look at your country? You have no right no nothing. Africa stop playing the victim. Build your countries. You come to europe to develop their countries but you will not do that to your own countries. This is disgraceful!
Welcome to ANC "paradise"
If you don't like our beloved country… Don't let the door hit u on your way out
can you really call yourself white if you live in Africa. The whites need to leave and make their own homeland. Screw Africa
Wait until the same foreiner especialy Zimbabweans, break into your house rob and rape you they are jusy heartless animals eve,, all of them,,,
Mugabe is to blame in all this .
I have been there, seen that and lived that. I am in a better space today.
What's the name of the song the sang at the church?
If ur staying in South Africa you won't understand cos I guess the documentary covers one side of the story but as for the police they're ruthless and I guess they need proper training
This is hard to swallow…. hard to swallow indeed
As a South African i want to apologize. Though it is not goingbto help a thing. Ive been crying throughout this documentary. I once saw a photo of a Zimbabwian guy fleeing with his dog. While hiking, holding it in his arms. I do animal welfare, it really touched me
Highly exaggerated
These guys are just humble, polite and respectful. All I can say as a South African is that when you are a foreigner you are just at the mercy of the police and the locals, I'm saying this because I have also been a foreigner. One thing that worsens the situations for all foreigners is when one of them commits a crime, we all know what happens next, they are all punished and given that job opportunities for foreigners are very low, crime is just around the corner.
But on a broader view, I blame the decisions taken by Zimbabwe, the influx of foreigners in our country is too much, we are also not doing well, and when they come to compete with the locals its obvious that that the locals will be given preference. I also think that those home affairs administrators took advantage of them simply because they are foreigners, they rarely ever ask for bribes from South Africans. The sanctions imposed to Zimbabwe by the US and its affiliates really did harm to Zimbabweans.
I did not think the bloody intro was going to end….slightly too long there mate
as a south african who lives in the suburbs having the best life , seeing this i've realised i have nice life problems.
The police is the problem in SA, they rob us all Foreigner or South African!
Not finding a job has nothing to do with xenophobia, even millions of South Africans struggle to find work
THE PROBLEM IS ?? WE DONT STOP THE BREADING WE DOING IT LIKE RATS..
It is so funny how Zimbabweans complain about conditions of South Africa, Shona people killed a lot of Ndebele (descendents of Mzilikazi) in Zimbabwe during gukurahundi.
Whilst the first guy is a political asylum seeker but some of us are economic migrants. This has been going on for decades, not new. I personally believe Zimbabwe is safer than living on the streets of Hilbrow. It pains me when people take their kids along to bring them up on the streets. Especially, if you can't get papers, it is the same problem worldover. Please don't take risks with your children's lives their future is worse there than back home. They don't go to school it's terrible. Home is much better these children deserve a better future than remaining paperless foreigners for the rest of their lives. Then they end up adopting names which are not theirs just to stay in country. In comparison SA policing is more corrupt. People should reconsider and go back home before they join criminality which can only end in death. MDC can't even look after it's people but they want votes.
this is so true
Seems like a pretty nice safe place.
WHAT A HEART BREAKING DOCUMENTARY
This is so sad what our people are doing to other people who are came here seeking help.
I’m African American n I feel share dat pain wit my brothers In African hopefully one day unity
Thanks to the sanctions whites have imposed on Zimbabwe. Smh
