Poverty sucks, doesn't matter your color, nationality or ethnicity
It’s so interesting how the children do willingly helped him set up his tent. The innocence of children is so precious and should always be a priority to be protected.
As a white South African who was born 6 years after apartheid has ended, I lived on the lower end of the financial spectrum for a big portion of my life, but it has given me perspective on how we can move forward trough hard work. I do see progress in some areas of the country and communities, but the nation as a whole needs to heal. There is injustice everywhere in the country, it is our discission if we are going to contribute to the injustice or are we going to make a positive change that is the best for ALL South Africans! Apartheid was the worst thing that happened to this country, we cannot change what happened, but we can learn, forgive, and grow as a unified nation. We are all here together, and the best we can do is to make the most of it.
“Dead people get more flowers than the living because regret is stronger than gratitude” who cares who said it,it’s just true
The best part of this documentary was Reggie driving the struggling father to a job interview which ultimately changed his family's life for the best.
Being a father myself, when I see another man suffering in poverty with his wife and children it makes me really sad.
This video did a lot for me emotionally, and I could relate. I grew up in a family setting just like this. And came out of it!
Reggie was the best person for them to send for this documentary. The way he spoke to everyone to hear what their persepective is, is refreshing and a sign of a true journalist.
When the kid gave him the hug goodbye...that said it all. The kid just saw a kind human being, the man just saw a friendly child. The world needs to see with those eyes.
If everyone lived by the code: "Treat others the way you would want to be treated" it would solve a lot of things and make the world a nicer place to live.
I'm a white South African, my dad lived in coronation park till the day he died. In his case it was because he had a drinking problem but it's still sad, none of us could take him in due to that fact and that's why he stayed there, all we could do was to go get him for weekend visits and so on, then we had to take him back, he had such a strong family bond with the people who lived with him there though, they really looked after each other. My dad was also an amazingly talented artist and we tried helping him to make a living out of it so many times, but sadly for him he chose alcohol. It did not make him a bad human though
"I try hard, but maybe I don't try hard enough" that's heart breaking.
I'm from Here, I grew up poor in a place called Wolmer in Gauteng Pretoria and it was tough, we lost our house and had no choice to move into a shack in the back of a family members yard, Im now grown up and live in Cape Town, doing much better, you are not your past.
This is real journalism. Unique stories that nobody is covering. And actualling immersing yourself in the story to really get to the heart of the matter. This man has a heart of gold.
The true racism is the divide in wealth... This has made me emotional because I always tell my little sister that we are all the same thing yet we are blind because our minds are clouded with the illusion of separation that is perpetuated by those who have the wealth in order to remain at the top - benefitting from the divide... It's sad that a lot of people don't understand that there is power in unity. I love South Africa, it's my home...
My heart broke for the boy who was trying to keep the tears back. His pain was deep and real.
the man talking about his wife and kids. it really brought a tear to my eye. "I try hard, but maybe not hard enough" with tears in his eyes..my god.
i feel bad for kids stuck in poverty , every kid deserves a decent home , good food , good education and healthcare
Thank you for your honest documentary. Praying for peace for South Africa 🇿🇦 we are a wonderful nation and all we can hold onto is faith that it will get better 🙏🏻
