  • Do black people live in afrika?

  • Is this the USA's Future? We have a lack of affordable housing and people living in tents. People are on lists years long for affordable housing. We are almost there now.I once talked to a South African Man he said that the USA was much like africa only now he has air conditioner in his studio apartment that was smaller than his shack. His apartment in the USA had a tin roof!

  • They really could have found a better person to interview.

    Sheila's appearance detracts from the point, the people are in need. However her physical appearance may lead people to dismiss this crisis.

  • Ms. Botha doesn't look like she missed many meals maybe she could use some of the money that goes into her mouth and use it for proper shelter

  • I think the repoter should look at the word "Most" that not correct.

  • By the way, im not saying that we shouldnt help these people, im just saying they must pull their act together and be independent.

  • The ANC should pull their act together and look after their own people and stop depending on charities and other nations to support them. All of our countries were like this once, only hundreds of years ago and the people and government worked together and made N.America/Europe the way it is today, wealthy and rich, it didnt come without suffering and hard work.

  • South Africa is the richest country in africa so why is it this fucked up???????????

  • thats the thing before elections promises will be made and sky moon n water will be the promise.

    at the end people suffer n goverments thrive over a countries welth.

    leaving citizens to face the brunt

  • when you someone living in this kind of houses you should assume the fatness it not from eating . it could be of a diseas
