How the well-off live in South Africa

Beneburundi [FR] on how the well-off in South Africa live: “South Africa was so different from what I could have imagined. It was like the US in Africa: immense cities, high-security neighborhoods, huge expressways where the last Mercedes and other show-off cars, unending shopping districts that are even laid out in small towns, giant billboards, fast food, fast food and more fast food. In brief, a society of over-consumption where those who have the means (or take them) gorge themselves until they are overflowing with money and fat.”

    Hey ! In South Africa, they can’t do everything for their people because authorities have set priorities in their lives : taking care of the polisario promotion.
    In South Africa life is cheap and charity doesn’t start at home.
