For decades, South Africa was under apartheid: a series of laws that divided people by race. Then, in the 1990s, those laws were dismantled. But many of the barriers they created continue to divide South Africans by skin color - which in turn determines their quality of life, access to jobs, and wealth. Racial division was built into the fabric of cities throughout South Africa, and it still hasn't been uprooted.
That's partly because, while apartheid was the culmination of South Africa's racial divisions, it wasn't the beginning of them. That story starts closer to the 1800s, when the British built a network of railroads that transforme...

White farmers in South Africa live in fear of attack
In South Africa, ownership of the land has emerged as the most explosive issue faced by the country's leaders.
The government has pledged to redistribute land from white farmers to millions of black people who work on it.
But groups representing white farmers say the dispute is inflaming violence in rural areas.
Some white farmers have resorted to learning self-defence and weapons techniques from a former member of Israel's special forces in case they are targeted.

For decades, South Africa was under apartheid: a series of laws that divided people by race. Then, in the 1990s, those laws were dismantled. But many of the barriers they created continue to divide South Africans by skin color - which in turn determines their quality of life, access to jobs, and wealth. Racial division was built into the fabric of cities throughout South Africa, and it still hasn't been uprooted.
That's partly because, while apartheid was the culmination of South Africa's racial divisions, it wasn't the beginning of them. That story starts closer to the 1800s, when the British built a network of railroads that transformed the region's economy into one that excluded most Black people -- and then made that exclusion the law.

In South Africa, ownership of the land has emerged as the most explosive issue faced by the country's leaders.
The government has pledged to redistribute land from white farmers to millions of black people who work on it.
But groups representing white farmers say the dispute is inflaming violence in rural areas.
Some white farmers have resorted to learning self-defence and weapons techniques from a former member of Israel's special forces in case they are targeted.

Coronation Park is a squatter camp with a majority white population in Krugersdorp, South Africa.
Although impoverished blacks in the region far outnumber their white counterparts, this camp is one of a growing number of townships populated mostly by Afrikaners - white South Africans.
In the 19 years since the fall of apartheid, more and more whites are coming face to face with poverty and social meltdown.
A controversial "affirmative action" policy sees blacks take precedence over whites on the job market, giving some people little choice but to move into tents and caravans in camps such as Coronation Park.
Residents are frustrated at what they see as 'reverse apartheid.'
"I'm sorry, it's racist. I'm not racist, but the blacks come first and then whites," said one retired resident of the camp. "And even highly qualified whites don't get a position in South Africa."
Another man agreed, blaming affirmative action for their situation.
"Apartheid was a problem. But, this is the only country in the world where the majority has got 'affirmative action'," he said. "America's got affirmative action, everywhere's got affirmation action, but this is the only country where the majority's got 'affirmative action'."
Post-apartheid governments have struggled to achieve redistribution of wealth and economic growth, leading to an increase in poverty among the country's white population.
