This is what inequality looks like | Johnny Miller | TEDxJohannesburg

[dhanashennaidoo]

There should be a way that YouTube pushes this kind of video to relevant population groups - in this case ALL South Africans. It only got 55k view on one of the best channels YT has to offer - crazy.
Having the perspective offered in this talk, can help open ones mind to why social cohesion is so important in bridging the economic and digital divides that the SA society face.

Hey youtube! I think it's time to start recommending also this kind of videos, not only the one with cats (which we love)

[imraanadams]

I love the fact that he did not mention race at all, in a country where race is the main is the main causation of ongoing inequality. He does this to emphasize the fact that regardless of certain/ different race we are, ALL people deserve equality and should be treated as such. And the only way to reach equality is by showing COMPASSION, MORALITY AND HELPING others, our neighbors, friends and colleagues. Viewing these aerial view photographs of landscapes and even the world/ planet itself makes you realize that there is only ONE race, .. the HUMAN race.

Inequality is hard to tackle....we could start by making sure that the privileged don't teach their children that "those people are dangerous" or "we're better than them"...

Also, the rich must take their kids to these communities so that they have a fully informed reality about their cities....

How many of your white friends have visited Khayelitsha or Nyanga? Once they do...and they have compassion things will change....

And of course mindset for all concerned is a Must

I honestly love how they have 20M subscribers but this video did not get a lot views, it honestly shows how blind we are towards humanity ://

The law locks up the man or woman

 Who steal the goose from off the common

 But leaves the greater villain loose

 Who steals the common from the goose.


 The law demands that we all atone

 When we take things that we don't own

 But leaves the lords and ladies fine

Who take things that are yours and mine.


 The poor and wretched don’t escape If they conspire the law to break;

 This must be so, but they ensure

 Those who conspire to make the law.


The law locks up the man or woman

Who steals the goose from off the common

And geese will still a common lack

Until they go and steal it back!

With our bill of rights on equality i think South Africa is not a just society. Rich or poor we have to learn to live and work together on reasonable solutions. Considering Houtbay and Emezamoyethu situations we need to get public servants who understand that people needs to access basic necessities like toilets, schools and health facilities in reasonable numbers.

[namesnathan]

Well done for giving us this perspective.

Watching the first time May 2023. Powerful and more relevant today than before. Covid proved the horrors of spatial planning.

[jesus_isourcreator]

Drive thru Palo Alto CA home of Stanford U all the luxury homes then cross the one street into East Palo Alto & just a block away enter one of the tenement buildings 4-5 stories high multiple apartments on each floor all cement top to bottom except for the metal fences.

Before people watching this want to do the same, please take note we have drone (RPAS) regulations in South Africa. Flying your drone just where you want, how high you want, over buildings and people and roads is not legal. Flying in national parks is illegal, as is flying within 10km of an aerodrome.

"Africa's independence was for the elite to enjoy"

[DADAMANism]

White south africans know this. Especially the Gauteng based ones.

[HJ-brbs]

some win some lose... but somebody's gotta do the hard work to sustain unearned wealth...

[aubinsalim]

This is the result of capitalism system. What happened today in South Africa is a result of the inequality between people

[mercyb]

To rich people that like to share 1 % of their savings now! Hold my beeer!
