Oh, you seemed to be discussing tax rates too, or have you forgotten about that?As someone who professes to only deal in facts, I thought you might appreciate some.Jirre man, wassamatter with you? Stand in dogshit? Gives me a CA tax assessment lesson when I'm discussing squatter camps and how hot they get.
Correct. Would a slum such as The Bronx be classified as a squatter camp? Do you see why you can't use slums to indicate how many people live in squatter camps in SA?
It's not up to me to disprove your claim. The onus is upon you to prove your claim.

Jesus. You'll never admit to talking kak.Are you starting to stalk again?
Now tell us the percentage of people living in Shanty towns in those countries versus South Africa?
It's stuff like this I can't stand and where my sympathy goes to die.
Sure, you're poor, I get it... but how about cleaning up that "paving" line a bit, pull out the bossies, remove some rubble or repurpose it (use it to reinforce the channels/walls of all those streams of water and sh*t that's always flowing down the road and carving canyons into the soil), straighten those poles.. make a little pit in the corner next to where you're sitting and plant an indigenous sapling or two and take care of them. There are plenty of mud hut villages in KZN that look amazing because the people who live there care about what little they own, it 's really not that hard.
Hell, you can even dump pee on the damn trees periodically if you really need to, put some wood ash on it too now and again to balance the pH. Seeing something you nurture grow is so hugely beneficial to ones mindset and environment that even rich people do it all the time.
But no, let's just sit there, fed but defeated, holding up an umbrella all day and reminisce about how government is letting you down.
Half the youth in this country is unemployed. That's millions and millions of idle manpower just sitting around not being utilized because, excuses. Any Afrikaner etc. knows this, if you were in your early 20's just sitting around your parents house without working a job you'd be working your ass of doing jobs your dad would be handing out on a daily basis. At least, that's how things work where I come from.

just out of interest have you ever travelled outside of South Africa? I'm kinda lost here... are you implying that South Africa has the highest "shanty town" rates in the world?
there you go $4,800,000 for a house in the Bronx...

and by your assertion you've just agreed that South Africa has now almost no squatter camps and only slums.. therefor as slums go per % of population, South Africa has a very low slum rate
Brasil alone has the same amount of people living in shanty towns than the whole of the SA population, lets not even get to India, Pakistan.
I wanted to ask the same question, but chose not to
Nobody seems to read my posts correctly. I asked what percentage of people in SA live in shanty's compared to other countries. With almost half the people in SA on Grants and almost half unemployed, I suspect SA is worse than anywhere else. Consider SA has one of the worst GINI Coefficients in the world as well.
I answered. I have lived and worked in over 20 countries, including several in Africa.
It's hard to tell, the Gini Coefficient is not based on how may people live in shantytowns. The first thing you have to realise that there is a difference between a shanty town and a "township" which are proclaimed, plotted and serviced.
The amount of people living in shantytowns in SA is far less than any country in Africa, better than India or Pakistan where the majority lives in shantytowns, similar to South East Asia, much better than Brasil, on par with the narco states. Thats the developing world.
Not necessary for me to ask. But you should travel more around the country
30000 years? enough? may be not.One just has to be patient...
