"Hidden Minority: South Africa's White Poor"

At the Sonskynhoekie (Sunshine) Care Centre, a non-profit shelter located north of Pretoria, stew cooks next to an open pit filled with foul smelling water. Residents speculate that the septic tank, immediately next to the hole, is leaking into it. The pit was dug at the behest of a church group who offered to replace the septic tank but hasn't followed through. Toys sit in the filthy water--the children are forbidden from recovering them. Pigs use it as a wallow.
