Mitchell's Plain vs Sea Point

Five simple words for those who think Mitchell's Plain is nothing but a drug and gang infested town: You Got It All Wrong!

 

No doubt this place has it's criminal activities & drugs, but then again so does Sea Point. Only difference is not all criminal events there are made public due to "International Public Relations / Tourism Issues" if you know what I'm saying.

 

A few things they fail to inform the general public about are:

 

·         Mitchell's Plain is Cape Town's Talent Capital

 

·         This place has some of the best Scenic Locations imaginable

 

·         Schools have a very high standard of Quality Education

 

·         Almost every female could win America's Next Top Model

 

·         We have Singers and Dancers that would put Usher out of business

 

·         Our local Rap Artists would make 50 Cent follow in Puff Daddy's footsteps and rename himself 5 Cent

 

Ask yourself this question: Does Mitchell’s Plain have prostitutes standing on every corner? NO, in fact as long as I’ve been a mitchellsplainian I’ve never seen this species on the streets. People also seem to conveniently forget about that guy that was killed in broad daylight in front of the SABC building a few years back, yet Mitchell’s Plain gets labeled a crime capital.

 

One can only imagine how bedornerd I was when I saw on the interweb, on one of those tourism sites, that Mitchell’s Plain is listed as a place that tourists should avoid. And this nogal coming from people who actually admit that they have never been to Mitchell’s Plain or any other town on the Cape Flats.

 

Os innie Plain het oek a beach… os het oek Scenic locations… Sea Point het oek drug merchants en mense word oek gestiek and dood gemaak innie Sea Point. Not to mention that massage parlour full of moffies that was hit by professional hitmen and almost everyone was killed.

 

So my question remains, what makes Sea Point better than Mitchell’s Plain?
