DO SOMETHING!

See these two photos, I took them whilst visting Soweto recently. This is called an informal settlement, there are 400,000 people living in this one. The houses are made from scrap anything that can be found. They are not element proof and run the serious risk of being rife with all sorts of illness and diesese due to poor hygiene. But the most distressing of all is the toilets provided by the government. The eight porter loos in the photo above are for all 400,000 residents of the area! There are 16 loos in total, eight on this side and eight along the other boundary. For 400,000 people! This is disgraceful, humiliating and down right cruel. Shame on the South African government for not providing proper housing for these people, for not taking care of their basic hygiene and for failing to deliver on their promises!
