A Sobering Thought
When tucking into Christmas Dinner in comfort give a thought to the 3,000,000 Cape Town residents who will be spending Christmas plus the other 364 days of the year in conditions like these.
This is part of the Langa township between Cape Town and its airport. Most shacks have no sanitation - communal facilities are in the bottom left-hand corner of the shot - and electricity supplies are hot-wired from the street lighting.
This is but a small part of South Africa's social problem - there are many more collections of shacks like these in all parts of the country.
