Poor White South Africans: Living in a Squatter Camp in South Africa Today | A documentary about white people living in poverty in Krugersdorp, South Africa.
South Africa is the most unequal country in the world. But it is rare for one to see white people living in poverty in this country which has the biggest European population in Africa.
In Krugersdorp, west of Johannesburg there is a community of Afrikaner white people who are living in a squatter camp with black South Africans.
Among these people is an Afrikaner woman who is doing charity work in the community, her name is Elize Saunders.
She is running a soup kitchen to feed the community.
Saunders provides meals for the elderly and children in the community through a food donor and sponsor.
Having been moved there in 2015, they say they are living in peace with their black neighbours. In this documentary by Dinilohlanga Mekuto of Something Nice with Dinano, they speak about their way of living.
This is their story.

White South Africans are systemically discriminated against solely based on their race.

As an American whose been living in South Africa now for over 15 years, I can truthfully say that these stories are true. Actually, there are many many others living in this country who will never ever be filmed or documented.... it's sad! Just over a week ago, right before Christmas a 45 year old Afrikaans man came to my gate pleading for a job.... to do anything. I hired him to cut my lawn and to do other chores. This man has a wife and two young daughters, whom he also brought to my gate. ( I'm sure doing this, helps him to sell himself ) He told me he only survives, because he has extended family living with him. Seems almost everyone there has some kind of Government grant. This man sadly is also a fairly heavy smoker, and so money that should be going to the kids....for better clothes etc, is being smoked away! I mainly hired him to help them with their Christmas, as I usually cut my own grass. He worked for me two 6 hour days, but was paid for eight. I also feed him a robust lunch. I paid him in full at the end of each days work, and so I did notice, however, that on day two he was smoking twice as much as he was on day one with me. That told me the real story..... his Christmas was going up in smoke!!!!!!!

@@couragebeforedishonor Pls don't misconstrue what I wrote, I said S.A. was better under Mandela it was not about money, it is about morals and ethics, ask yourself how many wealthy Black people are reinvesting in other Black people and communities, how many prominent black wealthy family's are creating outreaches and involved in upliftment projects, ??? Point is even if you took all the money from whites and gave it to the poor disadvantaged black communities they would not grow or share that wealth, they even steal from there own stokvels, very few can manage group wealth, so go look at the stats on that then come back and share, we have lots of Wealthy black families no names mentioned, who for 20 yrs plus had time and money to start charities and invest in and grow community wealth from grass roots level, it has not happened, all we have is corruption and degradation and a collapsing system. It is always white monopoly capital that nothing is working, because only in the mind of the uninformed will it be right, eh once every single white person has gone into a shack, owns nothing, cannot work, or gives everything back they stole from the black people then it will be right???

My people are some of the most welcoming and loving group of people i know but unfortunately because racism is so embedded in MAJORITY of white South Africans (and coloured and Indian communities) psyche, most of them judge us first based on our skin colour and not our character. I wish the rest of the country was this united, but it's just wishful thinking I guess.

[@kooskoekemoer]

Do you have proof that the majority of whites are racists? I don't think so. How many white people do you personally know?

[@frankyyaggabot6222]

It's also deeply embedded in black people - an academic survey just completed found black people were much, much more racist than europeans. South Africa is fast becoming known as one of the most xenophobic countries in the world with attacks on other Africans increasing and even political parties forming around this sentiment. You applied an observation to a majority of people of a certain race whilst completely ignoring it in your own. That is problematic because if one cannot see the issue clearly and instead projects it onto other people then one cannot fix it!

If you want something even funnier - look up slavery in Ethiopia between different African peoples (went on for thousands of years and only ended in 1943 only a year after they were liberated and had their country handed back to them by ... white South Africans who were the first into Addis Ababa). Then, if that's got you bent over with laughter the Bantu Expansion is an exemplar case study of genocide in Africa followed up by the more recent genocidal migrations of Nguni Peoples south. The welcoming and loving Kamba people of East Africa sold their own tribespeople into slavery for beads in the 19th Century.
