…South Africa-By Dyan Marrs

Poverty in South Africa

** It would be un-fair of me not to mention one of teh biggest problems in South Africa…Poverty. Poverty is a big problem in South Africa, which fuels another one of South Africa’s problems…crime. A large percentage of Souoth Africans live in areas called townships/informal settlements. These townships are communities of informal houses (shacks), often with no electricity, running water on proper insulation. Below are some pics from South Africa’s biggest township, Soweto **

 ** Really terrible living conditions exist in townshps **
