Not a great neighbourhood

People are not okay, they talk too much about you with lies, attack you without reason and believe what other people say about you without asking what your story is.

A wonderful neighbourhood to live in

I have lived in the Transvaalbuurt for 79 years. 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!
