| White Negros - South Africa |
 |
March 2006
Even today, albinos in South Africa face
widespread prejudice and discrimination.
Rejected by both the black and white
communities, they struggle to find their
place in society.
"Some women spit when they see me. They think
albinism is contagious and that will stop
them catching it", confides albino Ntswaki.
Both her parents are black but because of her
white skin her father rejected her at birth.
"I feel I am in strange place -- not white
enough, not black enough."

| USA For Africa - We Are The World |
 |
USA for Africa (United Support of Artists for
Africa), was the name under which forty-five
predominantly U.S. artists, led by Harry
Belafonte, Kenny Rogers, Michael Jackson, and
Lionel Richie, recorded the hit single "We
Are the World" in 1985. The song was a US and
UK Number One for the collective in April of
that year.
The considerable profits from the enterprise
went to the USA for Africa Foundation, which
used them for the relief of famine and
disease in Africa; critics, however, claim
that this money went directly to the (often
military) governments of the affected
countries rather than the people.
A recording of the live performance was
released with the Live Aid DVD set released
on November 8, 2004.

| Poor Whites - South Africa |
 |
June 2006
Since the end of apartheid, thousands of
white South Africans have been forced into
poverty. They blame the government's positive
discrimination policies, which favour black
employees.
Twelve years ago, Afrikaners like Betsie
Dreyer lived a privileged and cocooned life.
Now, many are dependent on charity handouts.
"We are fighting all the time to survive."
The government is determined to see the
workforce appropriately reflect the
population. It gives black people priority in
employment, sets 'black quotas' for
businesses and favours companies owned by
black people. But critics accuse the
government of neglecting its responsibility
to white citizens. As union rep Kallie Kriel
states: "It's ironic that a government that
fought racial laws is now doing exactly the
same thing."
