PROUD OF MANENBERG

my name is Jonathan Jansen
I grew up in a community called Manenberg. This blog is to challenge the stigma of Manenberg out there. The one of it being infested by gangsters or drug addicts or that if you make it in life people leave cause its not a save environment to start a family.

Yes Manenberg has a bad history of gang violence and drugs but that not all that Manenberg has as history. Allot of strong music stars came from Manenberg and not the Manenberg jazz club at the waterfront.

Therefore, my invite is to all Manenberg families to join in on this blog and let us together write the history of Manenberg.
