ASMR Life In South AFRICA

ASMR Teaching You About Inequality in South Africa since 1960

The unequal distribution of wealth in South Africa is even more extraordinary at the 10 th percentile: 10% of South Africans owned 86.1% of wealth in 1994. Around 12 million South Africans live in shack dwellings or 'informal settlements'. Often these have no electricity, sanitation or refuse collection. In 2007, the KwaZulu-Natal authority, which includes the city of Durban, passed the 'Elimination and Prevention of Re-Emergence of Slums Act', a programme to eradicate all shack dwellings by 2014. Tens of thousands of shack dwellers are at risk of eviction, and being displaced into temporary ‘transit areas' far out of town, something satirised in the new film District 9.
