South African Townships By Drone' is a series of drone videos i plan to film and release with the aim of raising awareness of the living conditions of the majority of South Africans and Immigrants living in South Africa.
Along the way, i hope to show you just how badly these living conditions are, i also hope to highlight the incredibly happy, friendly people whom make the most of this terrible situation.
I also plan to document and highlight the massive gap in living conditions across S.A.
My final aim is to merely raise awareness and hopefully attract some ideas and concepts for change and a way forward and how this can be achieved as a community.
In this episode i visit Imizamo Yethu Informal settlement in Hout Bay for a 3rd time, i had filmed there twice before, once almost coming under attack from the locals as they were suspicious of my intentions.
This time i was welcomed by the local community leader and those affected by the fire.
On 26 Dec. 2015 a fire broke out in Imizamo Yethu Informal settlement in Hout Bay, South Africa.
This is sadly a regular occurrence in our informal settlement's / townships.
Close to 600 "homes" burnt down, leaving about 1300 residents destitute and 1 person dead.
These people have lost EVERYTHING and as we spend our holidays celebrating, these folks are working day and night, in temperatures of 41 degrees celcius to try rebuild their homes.
They have NOTHING!!!
The community allowed me to film them to create this video in the hope that we can raise some awareness to their situation.
I hope to raise some funds and collect as much stuff as possible to assist them.
