Shanty Town in South Africa |
||||||
 |
||||||
|
||||||
| Cape Flats, a large township outside of Cape Town, South Africa, is notorious for its extensive squatter camps, or shanty towns, which developed as a result of a chronic housing shortage for poor people in the 1970s and 1980s. Most of these makeshift dwellings lack even the most basic amenities, such as running water, sanitation, and electricity. | ||||||
