Hijacked buildings | City of Johannesburg's Central Fire Station - SABC speaks to a resident

THEY PAY FOR NOTHING. BUT THEY 'OWN' IT.

Ja right SA

These people live in filth and they expect us to respect them???How different are they from pigs we work hard to pay our way others just have fat tummies and take whatever they want and use courts to enable them???

Kunini ndithi yoooooh yoooooh hayibo siyaqhelwa nyani

Shocking

Hire a company to renovate that building into luxuous appartment or into a hotel. It looks nice.

Maybe they could have collected "RENT" from each home over the last few years and fix everything up. Sad situation. Government dont care for their people. City of JHB absolutely useless.

What a disgrace.

To the authorities, please enforce the law.

Taxis too.

Who is paying for their electricity?

Almal welkom😂😂😂

Enforce the law, bet you some dodgy ANC thug is involved🤞

Please allow people to speak in their Indigenous languages please.. They can explain themselves better in their languages

2 tire expropriation

Why has it lost the purpose it was build for???
To serve the communiry
Completly mismanaged

So interms of a Problem Building it is the responsibility of the owner to manage and maintain the property. The people of Gauteng could take the Municipality to court for the Health& Safety issues, for Fire & Safety not being in place, for the Building Structure possibly being compromised even though the City has not given permission for the illegal occupation. Why? Because the building should have been made secure to prevent the possible invasion. Because the owner has failed the people can hold them accountable and include human rights in fiding alternative accommodation or ensure the building is safe for occupancy or secured to prevent such.

First hijacked building I know of was in 1986. Absentee landlord, upped rent, did not maintain, residents elected a commitee, canvased for skills to do maintainance, and paid those to fo so. Worked well. It was cleaner and safer than much of the surrounds. It is not the people there, they are just people, it is the context they sre placed in. Given space and skilled support they can and will organise. Help the residents renovate the building rather than blame them as some seem to do.

Foreigners do as they please in our country

Dit is wat ANC en Regering aan Sa gedoen het n Vark hok so lyk ons land nou

Deport illigal people to own coountry

Ofcoz its foreigners doing this to our city! But we are xenophobic..

Bo mageza are also there, I can think of a particular province.

The guy in blue states he is the owner of the unit. Interviewer fails to ask how did you buy it ?

They have lights = corrupt ANC sponsors them.

So you don't have homes??

I was staying there paying rent luckily I left before time because they had given us 1 month notice eviction.

Zulus are building hijackers we all know that bit fools will always blame foreigners 😅😅😅

Just admit you've lost control of every CBD. That's why business operates elsehwere

Do South Africa really have a government because our country it went down the drain, everything has collapsed, foreigners have taken over, I think ANC is very proud

The people shall govern
ANC this are your promises 😭😭😭

And we keep on voting, these fat politicians do nothing to but allow foreigners to do as they please in our country

Thats how it is.

The ANC have no excuse for the mayhem they unleashed on south Africa it is time for them to go!

Anc knows everything about hijacked the buildings

Are they really hijacked or did jpc sell it illegally to foreigners

In my view , the South African government has failed the citizens of South Africa. Whose responsibility is it to secure our borders? Who are the border officials that take bribe money? Who sits in city councils? Who is responsible for policing and enforcement of law and order? The South African government should be ashamed .

Is that a foreigner talking. Foreigners can't live free

Land grab

Foreigners and anc looting tax of South Africa and destroying economy

We want you to come to Hillbrow

Yerrr Kruis Street opposite Gemini Parts😭

This government doesn't follow any procedure to run the country, bunch of idiots.

Result of electing weak,greedy and non honorable leaders

Ofcourse,ask cyril he told the foreigners to come so that the anc could still win the election,other countries chase the foreigners out but no we just say come on in

ANC is useless

I would also not live on the streets while there is an open unoccupied building.
How disgraceful of our government to mismanage things to this degree! Yerrr
