Chris Cummins, journalist euronews

"We are in Diepsloot a township just outside Johannesburg, 50 kilometres away is Soccer City where the grand opening ceremony and the final itself of the 2010 World Cup will take place, but we could be in another world."

Security is a huge business in South Africa the affluent live in secure compounds, fenced off- invisible from the streets.

In the very poorest areas a more basic and brutal form of law and order is in place.

  • Mugabe. Kissinger's old buddy.

  • Chris spermatozoid.

  • @happyness01 I don't know what will solve the issues,our current political policies are obviously not efficient. The problem for me is you have two major ruling parties... ANC and DA... and both parties only look after the rich and pretend to care for the poor....

  • @Amoraklin2 You make me sick

  • @societybay But he is right....

  • The black guy walking with Chris Cummins is a Zimbabwean, not a South African. His English accent is that of Zimbabwe and you tell me how South Africans cannot be angry at Zimbabweans who are taking our jobs and claim to know better of our history. This Zimbwabwean black guy should be ashamed of himself to tell our history while he is not part of it.

  • If you look back into South Africas past you will see that the Boers always asked to have am area where they can rule and run their own affairs without being subjigated or controlled by another race or culture. They have repetedly asked for this. The British forced them and all the black cultures together into modern day South Africa, a rich melting pot of cultures as you Europeans like to say. It only brought conflict missery and cultural extinction for all the different cultures.

  • @sten971 Okay, so what are your ideas for solutions to the South African issues. What do you think will solve it all, and i mean realistically and in our life time. No pipe line dream talk now of the impossible but of real possible solutions in your conservative mind that will get the economy going and people walking safely around in South Africa.

  • ok.. just let me get this.. these are black thugs committing these crimes?

    And this country now is ruled by a black government? oh thats right.. the present government TAUGHT these fantastic violent skills to kids as young as 7; they have now graduated and their 'master degree' qualifications are evident! Vote ANC! you will continue to see this type of society become rampant throughout SA!!!!

    Why hate the White man when its their black neighbours that they fear?!!

  • change the name of that town - it is a symbol of control.
