Kliptown for me was a real eye opener and has now made me look at things in a whole different perspective. The whole area of Kliptown really shocked me and made me think how could the government let people live like that. We were told that 73% of people living in Kliptown were unemployed and with the total of around 4500 people living in Kliptown, this means that is a huge number, we were also told that they lacked food, resources (as they had been stolen a few weeks before) and simply somewhere to go to the toilet! Knowing these things and still seeing how positive and happy the people of Kliptown were it makes you feel and want to be more grateful and know that we are so privileged compared to those who live in poverty.
