Mama Swartbooi
"If I win the lottery I would… well, I would first go to Jamaica for a week,” she says as we all laugh (“Classic Thembi!” Mama exclaims!)“But truly speaking,” Thembi continues, “I’ll come back and still stay here because there’s no feeling when you wake up in the morning and you hear ‘hi meza’ (meza means neighbour), and you know you’re home.”“Even if I go away for two days, I get homesick. I miss the noises, the colours, the ripeness, the love, the togetherness.”
2-faced
It always depends where you are. Often inhabitants can change the whole picture
- Lack of education and employment - no safe future
- discrimination
neighbours help
Often assisted by neighbours even though both are poor
most people want to get out but:
Minimum privacy
Limited privacy allows people to know what is going on in their neighbours life
thriving sense of community
Even though there is a lot of criminality people still become protective over each other because they live connected like family
community makes the township colourful
Community
vs
Poor areasthere are also neighborhoods with the most bitter poverty that should not be entered even during the day.
Good areas There are relatively prosperous areas that are medium-sized settlements with normal infrastructure. In recent years, various shopping malls have been built there

Development
• South Africa spends billions in euros per year to improve living conditions in the townships progress is slow •Lack of resources, incompentency, corruption and the constant influx of many people who do not notice the progress among all residents. •The ANC government promised to improve the living conditions of all the poor when it took office •Great progress in the medical and school sectorbut hardly anything in housing conditions•Still areas without running water and electricity.

•The impatience of the residents is repeatedly reflected in violent conflicts riots against foreigners in 2008 → their huts were burned down and several dozen refugees from Sub-Saharan Africa were killed more than half of the population is unemployed in the townships→ no merit, no cent of support from the state side People are fleeing the gray everyday life into alcohol and drugs. → In Sheebens, small pubs, cheap alcohol is sold→ Tik is the most widespread drug in Cape Town the crimes for which South Africa is so notorious are committed all over the world → in most cases, these acts of violence are limited to these areas
