South Africa Today



Yes, it is shocking, there are hooligans running around, carrying pangas ready to attack people, slashing their heads with these deadly homemade weapons. Looting shops, setting people alight and leaving them to die a horrific death. South Africa today, is not a bed of roses and no matter how many people say, it is all well, and it is not. 
After 22 years the African National Congress (ANC) government have not demolished the overpopulated shacks in townships. There is a severe shortage of housing for the majority and all the foreign nationalists from neighboring countries escalate the problem.  Today there are more shacks than real houses. We all know electricity and sanitation is a huge problem, not to mention the health risks. 
 However, it is what people do, when then have no work, no life and no place to stay, they steal, kill and spread violence wherever they go. 

Some of these photos are awful, but it is the truth. 




 And now for the graphic images. When people behave like this, then there is no hope.




South Africa, a land of violence and trauma.
