I for example, i was lower middle class my whole life my parents were disabled and worked petty jobs, and all people i mingled with were same and lower. After I graduated with engineering and studied extra and worked so much in everything for years, now i am making good money but not 100,000$ a year but close to this, i stopped looking back at my people, because i am too busy sustaining or trying to grow more, and now interacting with middle to upper class on regular basis, thats how people operate now. They just too busy with their lives to desire to go extra to reach out to poor people.

      @@wcstevens7 Mandela did a good thing, in that he avoided the slaughter his commie comrades were itching to begin.
      But he couldn’t root out a culture of laziness and corruption which was ascendant in the Winnie Mandela faction of the ANC. Mandela was the anomaly-The problem with the ANC is that it was a revolutionary anti-apartheid party-Best suited to winning the day. But not suited for the day to day operations of government.
      Old MK fighters with the AK-47 stashed under their beds did not make for good government ministers, businessmen, and the like.
      They needed jobs, and their children need a good education. But the upper echelons of the ANC care only for lining their own pockets and increasing their own power way beyond anything the National Party leadership ever conceived of.

The entire political class’s pockets are lined before any of them even begin to worry about how they make themselves appear as though they are trying to deliver services. Get rid of politicians, keep the treasury, and strengthen the rand so the poorest with the fewest rands can afford the basics. Right now, the poorest have rands worth less and less and a government that takes the few resources available and squanders them.

There they live in tight knit communities and no one feels in danger like in the cities .Whites pay the tax and they are being killed or chased out of business due to new laws which dictate black management and shareholders ( up to 51 % of your business for free ) . So with fewer tax payers , 4 million to pay for the other 70 million , it is not feasible , and its getting worse by the month.

    This needs an update. The city now has 2million more people in 7 years, the council is spending billions upgrading the poorest areas. What other programs are being instituted to help the self builders with proper planning and building support for their self built houses. Ironically this funding has been available for 35 years but its not being accessed or used because people just don't know it exists plus the labels applied just dont do justice to the complex situation. There are those that just refuse to pay council taxes and when areas are upgraded, they move to a new unpopulated area and set up again. Not everyone is like this and for those who want the organisation and structure, it needs to be provided in a super organised way.

    In an area near Cape Town,with just a road between them, are 2 squatter camps. One is kept clean and looked after.The other is a filthy ,unhigienic place,because the inhabitants wait for "someone else" to clean up their places.....

      No it was not beautiful before apartheid ended. Our people had no rights and were physically and emotionally abused on a daily basis. We have much poverty today but the best thing that happened to us was the end of that horrible system that the previous government forced us into. Please think before you make these comments.People died during apartheid for no reason other than the colour of their skin. Stevie Wonder wrote a beautiful song called 'I am singing' which was a prophetic song about love and unity for all South Africans. Let's hope we achieve that someday.

On the black side which is Soweto Johannesburg ect black people could do whatever they wanted they could have built their own communities and created their own jobs. But instead they fought and fought to be in Cape Town. And once they got in they built a massive slum right in beautiful Cape Town. It’s shameful!

      Poverty in South Africa is both the result of the abolishing of Apartheid. The black South Africans were poor already, but they all had jobs. Thanks to the Presidents after Mbeki this is what South Africa is made. Somewhere I feel that this video is made to bring apartheid view. Back somewhere. The guard is white, and all poor people's are black. However, white poverty is a massive problem too.
