Over those years I have seen many changes, but I still live there with great pleasure! And I will continue to do so until the very end! Transvaal is my life!" Another review is less glowing, describing it as "Not a great neighbourhood" and mentioning social tensions. A third simply says "Yes" with a score of 7.75.
