| 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."

| Vigilante Justice - South Africa |
 |
May 1999
In this report South Africa's growing
vigilante crisis is thrown into sharp relief
when the rape of a black girl is publicly
avenged
Some of her attackers live in her street and
she now fears for her life. Frustrated that
the police will do little to help she
approaches the local taxi firm to help her
get revenge. "Will you be satisfied and stop
crying once we've beaten them?" the firm ask
her. At 4am the girl points out her township
tormentors to willing vigilantes. They strip
the culprits naked, strap them to a lamp post
and lash them. The girl herself gives the
first stroke. The legacy of apartheid leads
South Africans to such violence, when even
the police disregarded their own laws. The
mob ruled when it black against white. This
past has depersonalised and dehumanised. The
police stand accused of apathy but often they
are frustrated by clever criminals. But
unless the police earn people's trust,
vigilantism may become the norm.

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."
