White poor South Africans feel neglected

Far from the queues of people waiting to view Mandela's body in Pretoria, life for poor whites in a Krugersdorp squatter camp goes on.
As Al Jazeera's Jonah Hull reports, Mandela is remembered as a man who did great things for South Africa, but whose vision has not been fulfilled.
