That's Joburg.

[–]please_please_smee 24 points25 points ago

Yep. This epitomises living in Cape Town.

[–]postmodernsatori 7 points8 points ago

So you're saying you don't live like this? What a pleb! </sarcasm>

[–]jizzontoast 38 points39 points ago

Just a stab in the dark. But I reckon this house is owned by a white man.

[–]postmodernsatori 13 points14 points ago

You might be wrong, this is the new South Africa we're talking about

[–]go-rot-in-a-sewer 7 points8 points ago

true with the black empowerment law

it truly fucks up the idea of "equality"

[–]dirtyoldmanistaken 0 points1 point ago

Black empowerment IS about equality. A team is only as good as its worst member, and after nearly 50 years of apartheid, the majority of team South Africa is uneducated and account for a small percentage of the economic elite in this country. I'm not saying that BEE is perfect, but you can't fuck up the idea of equality if that concept doesn't even exist at a grassroots level. Approximately 50% of South Africans live below the poverty line and/or are unemployed and the majority of them are black.
It is true that less qualified blacks are chosen over more qualified whites, however those whites with vast experience and knowledge are often kept on as consultants in order to tranfer that knowledge (often at a higher salary). The 'liberals' in this country bitch and moan about our corrupt politics as if it were unique to South Africa. What they seem to ignore is that we have a largely free media, which tries to report objectively rather than spread a political agenda like we see in, for example, the USA.
Here, have a T-Shirt.
Edit: This is how most people live in Cape Town

[–]blvsh -2 points-1 points ago

They chose to live there in those shacks, they came down in 1994 to over vote. The ANC drove them down in busses. THEY CHOSE TO LIVE THERE.

[–]dirtyoldmanistaken 2 points3 points ago

If your choice is between a rural village, with little to no access to basic services such as clean water, electricity, health care, etc. as well few jobs or living on the outskirts of the city so you can try and create a better future for your children by earning a few rands cleaning up after the 'liberal' whites in cape town, tell me, what would you choose?
It is possible to make a choice that might not be in your best interest, if the other option is even worse.

[–]datums 5 points6 points ago

I wonder if the color was a deliberate choice.

[–]SupaDoll 6 points7 points ago

I've just subscribed to this subreddit and this picture confirms that I've made a good decision.

[–]justinm715 6 points7 points ago

Geez... brb, trying to make a ton of money.

[–]dazwah 1 point2 points ago

[–]ionchariot 2 points3 points ago

(sigh) The dream home

[–]j03l5k1 13 points14 points ago

So err, how many full time security guards work at this place.

[–]s-u-i-p 1 point2 points ago

Probably none. Looks like this house is somewhere near Melkbos or Table View, which are pretty safe areas.

[–]Titties 2 points3 points ago

That is in Clifton. Elton John and several other celebrities own places there.

[–]carolinax 2 points3 points ago

This. This is what I want.

[–]Wizardoflalaland 1 point2 points ago

oh fuck yea, i could get used to that every morning

[–]azarano 1 point2 points ago

This is stunning. Do you know where in Cape Town this is?

[–]cptlhr 2 points3 points ago

This looks like its above Camps Bay or Bakoven.

[–]NewAlexandria 2 points3 points ago

Well, that delivered

[–]s-u-i-p 1 point2 points ago

Maybe Table View/Melkbos-ish? It's hard to tell with the view silhouetted.

[–]ionchariot 3 points4 points ago

It's in Clifton. I run past it most days.

[–]Neroxela 1 point2 points ago

Hot damn!

[–]abasss -1 points0 points ago

Omg what a shack, this is so ugly...the view is nothing special.

it'snotfair.
