In one of South Africa's poorest townships, a group of citizen journalists are exposing xenophobia amid a housing dispute as they tell the stories of those in their community.
Al Jazeera's Jonah Hull reports from Alexandra township, Johnannesburg.
As for commentators here who have the luxury of urging others to 'pull up their bootstraps', a lot of people don't have boots. It looks like the ANC has betrayed its principles.
@Mayokitty7 I don't believe that the government owns all the resources, South Africa is a republic. Seems to me that they just want a hand out instead of working for themselves to get it done.
The wealthy need to learn to fear the people. Dont kill each other. Drag your politicians out and lock them up for serving the financial elites instead of the people.
Hate always finds a way.

@briperez BEcause the resources are owned by the government and they don't have the money for the tools in either case.

Why are they relying on the government to build the homes? Why don't they just collectively gather their resources and build their own houses
