El legado del Apartheid dejo atrs estaherencia: los ghettos de la marginalidadsocial de la gente de color que aprendi avivir, convivir y sobrevivir en las peorescondiciones imaginables.
Hoy poco ha cambiado, dominan las
bandas juveniles, trafican con alcohol,drogas y armas de fuego. El SIDA ganaterreno, la higiene, la sanidad e incluso elagua potable es un lujo que est al alcancede muy pocos.
Sin embargo, a pocos kilmetros de estaszonas la vida en las ciudades sudafricanaslate cmodamente con sus lujosas casas,calles anchas, centros comercialesmodernos, zonas de ocio, hospitales etc...
Los Townships son manchas grandesdonde reina la desigualdad, simplementeestn all y el gobierno poco hace porintentar cambiar esa desafortunadasituacin. Las chabolas crecen a un ritmofrentico, las casas prometidas por elgobierno no tanto.

INGLS
The legacy of apartheid left this inheritancebehind , townships, the ghettos of the socialmarginalization of the non-white people thatlearnt to live, coexist and survive in the worstimaginable conditions.
Today little has changed, juvenile gangsdominate, and they traffic with alcohol,
drugs and firearms. AIDS spreads fasterand faster, hygiene, sanitation, evendrinkable water is a luxury that very fewhave the option of opting for.
However, only a few kilometres from theseareas life in the South African cities beatscomfortably away, with its large houses,wide streets, modern shopping centers,
leisure areas , hospitals, etc....
The townships are big stains whereinequality reigns , they are simply there andthe government does very little to changethis unfortunate situation. The shacks growat a frantic rate , the housing promised bythe government not so.
