December 2008
More than a decade after apartheid ended millions of South Africans still live in basic home-made shacks. We hear from the inhabitants as they eloquently argue their case for real citizenship rights.

@chocolatebooty81 – I am deeply saddened by this video yet my senses of compassion and empathy are tainted by the everpresent conflicting thought that “Oh well, they voted this government in…”
So my dear it is my sincere opinion that the only revolution that needs to take place in your life is for you to try and remove your head from your and reposition it in its rightful place!
@chocolatebooty81 – …
@chocolatebooty81 – Your name explains the exact location of your brains my dear… I was brought up “colourblind” and even evicted from my rented home in the 80s by my staunch Afrikaner landlord as he had labelled me a “K*****lover” for treating my domestic lady and her children as my “equal”.
lol i love it when …
lol i love it when you Whites and or Non Blacks reply back in regards to my coment on how i feel that a revolution needs to happen in S.A in order for the Blacks to prosper in the country Apartheied ended in the early mid nineties but watching this video would make a person thinks it still exists and i never Madeba should have kicked out all of you Whites you have oppressed the native for many many years in addition these people should not be living under these conditions shame on you S.A
and poor people …
and poor people whine and moan and stand around hopeless . stop relying on government and try things for yourself nothing in life is easy or really free

so people like me who were born in 80s have to suffer?Do u think that’s fair?a revolution should take place yes but not the kind you want. bcos by doing that you’d only stoop to the same low level idiot

the poor of South Africa are being betrayed by their gov.–the country is a ticking time bomb
Born and bred in …
Born and bred in africa but now in Uk I am saddened by this. Get the poor minority together, give them a voice and let them fight. Kick the ANC out. They are all corrupt pigs. South Africa needs to take a stand, unite as athe rainbow nation we are. . Everybody has the right to equality no matter what race or creed. I am white and love the peopl of my home country no matter what race. it can be a eutopia again, they just have to get a better government in place.
I most definitely …
I most definitely agree with you. I think they deserve better . They are such beautiful people. I am a resident and a citizen of Botswana and i grew up at the time when apartheid was at its height and some of my uncles in South Africa were jailed inrobben island along with Madiba becuase of taling part in struggle against aprtheid and we used to house some refugees and friends from South Africa. I tell you this is the time of grace for South Africans. They deserve better life,
Mandela was too …
Mandela was too busy making himself rich to give a shit. Stop blaming the whites, get off your black and build something positive.
That is not true, …
That is not true, criminals lives everywhere, I am very close 2 peple living in the sharks, and I know that most of them came there from rural areas simply because there are fewer employment opptunities there, and those people make honest living, just that they are often being exploited by the rich people by paying very little , if you haven’t been there stop making false accusations. 1 day if u lose everything u own u will be forces 2 live there for a while 2 rebuild.
It seems like …
It seems like apartheid in South Africa still exists but only silently many of the Blacks remain poor and opressed While the Whites live in luxury When Mandela became president he should have kicked out all the Whites for all the years of oppression a revolution needs to take place in S.A the government of S.A should pay to upgrade the shacks or build modernized low income housing with electricity and appropriate plumbing i dont understand why such a rich country sits back and ignore this

The majority of …
The majority of black South Africans are decent wholesome generous and kind, I say this with the experience of a Canadian of afrikaner descent who made the effort of befriending Africans often from South Africa and formed some of the best friendships of my life. It breaks my heart to see these wonderful people suffering. These people need and deserve better, or else the criminal minority of the communities will prevail.
typical African’t.
typical African’t.
What is the …
What is the difference between this and Apartheid except during Apartheid blacks had the highest standard of living in Africa in comparison to other countries- Now they’ve been reduced to subjectsof the State, without rights or a voice. I won’t be a bit surprised to see an uprising in South AFrica in the near future as human beings cannot be expected to live like this without growing angry. Based upon this video I wouldn’t blame them one bit for throwing the ANC out.
You speak the truth …
