Violation

I was absolutely horrified at the state of the informal settlement, Kosovo, in Cape Town. On E News last night they showed how the whole settlement is basically a rubbish dump. Waste hasn't been collected from there in months (six to be exact). The waste is strewn around the public toilets that people can't even get to them. They have to, instead, do their business in the street. Sitting in front of the TV, my husband and I had to change the channel to avoid us throwing up the popcorn we were consuming. And these people still have to put up with the stench... What a gross violation of basic human rights.
