Hoping for a real home in new year....
South Africa Cape Town
At the districts of Cape Town is the "tin city", a huge second city of thousands of people living in apalling tin houses and in bare necessities. The majority of them are unemploid that, with daybreak, they flee to the city center in search for some work. The few luckier ones, struggle to keep on their feet with any kind of local trade in small shops. Their dream is to build a real home and quite often this remains for ever a dream.
