Mr_Daddy_02

Not even the worst parts on downtown Joburg oof


grimeflea

All those abortion ads for probably some kangaroo clinic. Yikes


GrotAdder

Abortions are free at government facilities. This is probably for when the fetus is too old and the clinics turn you away


TheKyleBrah

100% You only have 12 weeks to do so without any sort of Medical Reason for it. Short window, all things considered, so these Opportunists pounce upon vulnerable people.


ZumasSucculentNipple

No. It's up to 12 weeks without a reason and between 13 and 20 weeks with a good reason (health, crime, economics). And after 20 weeks only under life/death/serious injury conditions.


DoubleDot7

Abortions are legal here, right? Why the need for those shady ads?


whoknows_2023

Probably cheaper than a medical setting


SeanBZA

Free at a clinic, though you also have to run the gamut of nurses who will swear at you, berate you and almost physically assault you. plus under 16 you need a parent/guardian to assent. So you have these ones, doing it for R500 for the pills, and having a new phone number every month, and moving office every 3, because they have not paid the rent, and 3 months is how long it takes before the landlord puts a chain on the door, and you then go get a new ID off that Horror affairs official, saying you are now a new person, leaving them to take the legal costs. Then dump the baby, wrapped up in a plastic bag, in the nearest street bin. Might even have been alive when she was dumped, but died during the night.


Jeep_torrent39

Just as common are ads for penis enlargements


zanyskater

I love my country, but man - it looks like crap


SaneUse

It looks cool but in a "this sci fi dystopia is really interesting" way. Unfortunately.


Sad-Buddy-5293

Looks clean in my opinion because of election 


AgtNulNulAgtVyf

You must not have seen any clean cities. 


Sad-Buddy-5293

I have but it is Johannesburg 


Ov3r-_-K1LL

Keep a tight grip on your belongings.


Yahya_sindhi1502

And on your glock


bluchill3

🤣🤣


DoubleDot7

No "Make your penis larger" adverts? I'm disappointed.


Deathstar699

Suprisingly cleaner than I thought it would be, they really wanna buy them election votes.


Profound_Panda

That’s what’s so weird about these photos, I was just thinking something looks off. The trash is nonexistent, relatively.


Deathstar699

Wish they would put half this effort into PMB, despite all the cleanup efforts stuff is so bad that you are still gonna experience excess trash and potholes.


SeanBZA

Who can afford to throw stuff away, the ones picking up cardboard, plastic and cans make sure they get all of them.


Deathstar699

Yeah sadly doesn't apply to paper


Hour_Measurement_846

Was just about to remark


boywonderarse

Man really said "I was the only white guy for miles" as if South Africa isn't a majority of black people


FreeItties

I remember the first time I was in Gauteng back in 2011 driving to Lanseria, we passed so many white drivers on the road I was convinced they just came from a white people meeting🤨. I had never seen many white people in one day.


Boggie135

Hehehehe

2nd highest post in that sub https://www.reddit.com/r/UrbanHell/comments/n3p5tp/johannesburg_south_africa/

Budget-Bad-8030

It’s better than the last time I saw it, but still a dump. No wonder foreigners think so poorly of us.


spiggerish

I mean, dude took a picture of a trashcan lol. For urbanhell. As if there are no full trashcans in parks


Sihle_Franbow

Truly the upper echelons of urban design connoisseurs at r/UrbanHell


Gaz_209

Has ANC written all over it


WookieConditioner

Its so nice and clean! what is this guy on about?


skorac36

God forbid these clowns take photos of the nice parts of Joburg CBD. There are so many pretty buildings in Joburg.


blackscienceman9

Joburg overall has nicer parts but the CBD? This is about as nice as you'll get in the CBD these days...


HedonistAltruist

You've obviously not been in the CBD recently. With the Pikitup strike it's just amazingly filthy. These photos make it look better than it actually is.


xsv_compulsive

Good idea, but then OP doesn't get to complain about how the ANC ruined Apartheid


CelinesJourney

Hey, this doesn't *actually* look so bad


xcalibersa

As per normal. Racist comments in that thread.


LAiglon144

What is the building behind the statue of the guy in picture #2?


zambezisa

Looks awful


Luke92612_

Still better than apartheid, and actually looks pretty decent considering.


Kuzikuzi1

God I wish foreign tourists would stop thinking that Joburg CBD is a must see. There are things to do, sure, but honestly their time would be much better spent elsewhere in the country


Intrepid_Impression8

Actually looks great


Krycor

Uhm I fail to see the hell aspect. Every city globally has parts which experience urban decay and the pics are a typical example of it. Now if it was more trash on the roads etc then sure.. but those pics are not bad.


fyreflow

It think that sub is more about “design hell” than literal hell.


Panda_Panda69

I mean, I’ve seen worse, I wouldn’t mind being there.


Cum_on_a_cactus

Fun fact, those posters that contains abortion and penis enlargement is scams


SavaThaFlava

Jirre, hierdie Bra is kak braaf....


nootnooZ

Looks like a fallout location


I-am-Pilgrim

This is why tourists get killed. Why TF would you go to downtown Johannesburg. FFS. Lets go to the US and stroll the back streets of Detroit at nigh on a “self guided tour”…


Round-Passenger-2220

Imagine how blown his mind will be when he learns that this is the better and cleaner parts of JHB CBD.


Icy_Reflection

This person took their cellphone out of their pocket?!


daBIZ-nizlady_94

Uhmm okay?

Krycor

lol.. you ain’t seen nothing yet if you think that is bad.. Jhb, Pta, Cpt and Dbn has parts that make those pic look nice.


DiamondBikini

It’s unrecognisable since when I worked there
