More whites move into shacks

[BBSA]

Between 1996 and 2007, the proportion of whites moving into informal dwellings has grown the fastest of all South Africa's population groups.

These figures appear in this year's edition of the South African Survey, published by the South African Institute of Race Relations (SAIRR).

In the period under review, the number of white households living in informal dwellings rose by 197% from 1 972 to 5 863. Indians households registered growth of 92%, from 1 871 to 3 600. The number of white households living in open-space shacks grew by 309% while those moving into backyard shacks rose by 101%. For Indians the corresponding figures were 100% and 81%.

In contrast, the number of black households residing in informal dwellings grew by a relatively low 25%, albeit from figures of 1 386 637 to 1 732 604 in the period under review. For coloured households, the increase was from 57 582 to 62 365, or by 8%.

Those figures seem a bit low to me.

99% of all surveys are full of thumbsuck figures.

The above survey was thumbsucked by... me.

Seems that the RDP and BEE have been working pretty well.
Government need a pat on the back there.

With the price of houses, the thought of moving into a shack is becomming more and more realistic.

so, between white genocide, hijackings, emmigration, heart disease and suicide rates going up for white people, if we had to follow EVERY statistic out there there would be hardly any white people living in homes anymore

i'm EXTREMELY skeptical of statistics tho i have seen plenty of white people living in shacks, even train stations, i just doubt it's THAT bad. feel free to fling rocks at me if i'm wrong

Conscience hurting now? Don't bother. They don't want your sympathy. Just the job you took from them

yeah, but even THEN the kids still take some time to grow up

i was lucky to get the job i got, i seriously was, especially since i had no experience. but i always wondered with all the guys begging on the street corners and in the shacks, what if they got together and worked towards something. i don't know what life is like for them . just anything must be better than waiting

..which they took from? And so we can go on and on.

Like Chris Rock said:"No need for that"

If you can't even prosper with all that goverment policies that completely favours you,i think you deserve less than a shack.

Again labeling taking place. I don't care if AIDS among young people are spreading or if more people practice unsafe sex. People are individuals and statistics are ruining individualism.

But there were white poor people in apartheid too They grew up with 20 sibblings in a mine house and never finished school started shagging at 12 had babies at 15 and now we have 18 of those sibblings with 20 children that needs a place to stay no education and no white government to look after them soooo they end up in squatter camps. And shagg and breed and shagg and breed no schooling and there the white squatter camp grows...

Believe me my dad is one of the two that escaped and made something of himself( they only had primary school education)... the rest of his family is very dodge Very dodge

wow! do you know people like that? i live around mine houses but i've never seen that many children but i know what you're trying to say, but it's always been like that for black people, even today. there were plenty of poor people during apartheid, my family was one of them, my gran even told me she could buy a car on a R50 salary

the thing with statistics is that they're very broad and generalised, and people and situations are so unique. i don't know why people end up in squatter camps, or if they're even born there. just with statistics the mortality rate seem to be rising instead of dropping and emmigration seems to be rising with white south africans too, so i don't know how come there are still so many white people in south africa with all the news and stories i'm being fed

I agree with you totaly.


Yes you could buy the car with R50 but only one in the 20 earned it The rest were free loaders


We visited people and grand parents on the mine it self those with the dodge names like Springbok TNC..

we had a discussion about white people living as squatters last year or this year and some people did not believe that there are white squatter camps. many years ago we took food and clothing to a family living in a small tent on a vacated piece of land in retreat, it's heartbreaking to see anyone having to live like that.
