South Africa's townships

 

WE CANNOT TALK ABOUT SOUTH AFRICA'S FUTURE WITHOUT TALKING ABOUT ITS TOWNSHIPS.

Nearly half of South Africa's working-age population — and almost two-thirds of the unemployed — live in areas designated as townships.

For millions of people, the township isn't somewhere they visit.

It's home.

It is where children grow up.

Where businesses try to survive.

Where families build lives.

Where dreams exist alongside poverty, unemployment and crime.

But townships are not simply places of poverty.

They are full of entrepreneurs, teachers, artists, parents, young people and community leaders trying to create something better.

The question should not be:

"What's wrong with the townships?"

Perhaps the better question is:

"What could happen if we invested properly in the people who live there?"

Human trafficking is not a distant problem

 

HUMAN TRAFFICKING IS HAPPENING IN SOUTH AFRICA.

We sometimes imagine trafficking as something that happens in another country, to someone else.

It doesn't.

South Africa continues to face trafficking for sexual exploitation, forced labour and other forms of exploitation.

And poverty can make vulnerable people even easier targets.

A promise of a job.

A promise of money.

A promise of a better life.

Sometimes that's all a trafficker needs to get someone into their trap.

Earlier this month, South African authorities continued investigating a Durban case involving allegations of human trafficking, kidnapping and sexual assault.

This is why awareness matters.

Know the warning signs. Talk to your children. Talk to young people. Don't assume trafficking can't happen in your community.
