Watch the trailer:
Speaking to Gordon about the film, he said: “We welcome positive and negative feedback – we do live in a democracy after all.”
Trying to become someone on…. Who are the victims,…. You are a disgrace
620 burglaries is the same as every other suburban area of the same size in cape town or anywhere else in SA for that matter. Look it up on crime stats SA chop
James, are you trying to justify this level of crime with your stupid comment! These are not simply innocent burglaries where someone is stealing a loaf of bread, they are organized, violent and vicious attacks on innocent, law-abiding citizens. Why must we live like this?
In the 70s, 80s and early 90s Hout Bay used to be a beautiful, safe suburb … now I wouldn’t live there if you paid me! Many friends who have lived there have sold while they still could.
You are plain simply wrong. Hout Bay was at one stage before JHB!!
So before you throw comments out there and make a fool of your self go to crime stats SA chop!
I’ve lived in Hout Bay for four years now and haven’t had the slightest incident. I guess I’m lucky. Alegro, I wouldn’t pay you to live in Hout Bay either, you sound like the film makers. Sensationalist and ready to panic ‘button’ when someone rings your doorbell. This movie was made for image and profit, not for the care of the citizens of Hout Bay.
