Garbage dump Rustenburg - streight out of "After People"

Due to the Football World Championship, Rustenburg is cleaning up their act, in terms of garbage, this also means that the old garbage dump with all the approximate 700 persons scavenging there for a living, will be substituted with a new modern landfill site, which is really good,. What is not so good is that the 700 scavenger and their families will not be allowed into the controlled site, meaning that there will be approx. 2-3000 people without an income, I wonder if they will be able to tacle the increasing crime rate, deriving from this, just as well. I'm going to find out!
