The white slums of South Africa (poverty documentary video)

On this day of South African day of freedom examining the life of average South African makes sense to determine how far the country has come along in tackling poverty and low standard of living. It is necessary not only to look at Black people poverty index but also to look at poverty among the minority white population. The documentary by Tracks just did that.
