The story of white poverty in the new South Africa
More than 430 000 white South Africans are currently classified as absolutely poor. For years this type of poverty has been kept silent while these small communities of poor people – tucked away from the rest of society – lead a precarious existence. Solidarity Helping Hand’s Report on White Poverty has broken the silence. The report investigates the levels of the increasing poverty problem in various South African cities and towns.
