Land of Dust: The SA farm belt where bad health, bad education and low wages are still the norm. Subscribe to Journeyman for daily global current affairs and science news reports more: http://www.youtube,com/journeymanpictures For downloads and more information visit: http://www.journeyman.tv/67894/short-films/land-of-dust-hd.html Hex River Valley is home to South Africa's booming wine industry. Yet despite huge profits, the rewards for farm workers are long hours, low wages and poor health: a status quo that's feeding a growing discontent. Two decades after the end of apartheid, farm hand Shawn Yanta isn't celebrating anything. "Only the rich are celebrating. The working class still struggles." Despite the huge growth in profits since the end of international boycotts, the region's fruit pickers remain trapped in poverty, neglected by the government and social services. And many, like Mwabasi, are losing hope: "I'm afraid to die and leave my children with no future".

I CAN SEE HOW MUCH CHANGED WHILE MANDELA WAS ALIVE , ABSOLUTELY NOTHING . AND THESE PEOPLE LIVE WELL BELOW THE POVERTY LINE FOR AMERICA ,, AND YET LIKE ANYWHERE ELSE WHERE BLACKS ARE , THEY KEEP PUMPING OUT BABIES AND COMPLAIN ABOUT THEIR LIVING CONDITIONS. MAYBE IF THEY WERE EDUCATED ABOUT BIRTH CONTROL THERE WOULDN'T BE SO MANY BABIES , IT A FUCKING SIN TO BRING A CHILD INTO A LIFE LIKE THAT . WHY DON'T THEY USE THAT DEVICE OR INJECTION THEY USE ON CHIMPANZEES , IT KEEPS THEM FROM GETTING PREGNANT FOR TWO YEARS , I WISH WE COULD USE THAT HERE IN AMERICA ON OUR DOMESTIC FREELOADER HOODRATS .

Neither fair nor unbiased or complete a picture of these farms.

'The more you harvest, the more you get paid'_That line still annoys me the most every time I hear it! This is slavery and not just this 'modern day' narrative some people a trying to forge, people get blamed for wanting more compensation for the work they do whereas the work they do is measured by their industry on the day. And, in addition they get unfairly accused of being the masterminds of their oppression. How?

So sad..but the truth is that is not a single Black Country in the world that is financially viable.

The irony... The only way the South Africa is going to change, is if we STOP seeing RACE / Color - Black and White - Colored Indian... And start living together in harmony.....THIS video and the people, and their life style - is the because of the ANC - The poor of SA, have been LIED to for 23 YEARS!!!
While the President of SA, Jacob Zuma - Spends R8.7 million on new SUV's for his wives... or is about to get a R4 BILLION private Jet!?
Or what about spending R280 million on his own HOME!
ALL the members of the ANC, have enriched themselves.. not helped the poor - The people that voted for them, that put them into power!
At least these people have a JOB! -
Those women seem nice and fat to me.

It's in these people's nature to complain and seek sympathy - it has always been and will never change, its better than no job at all, what about the people with zero prospects and no money, the destitute and homeless, they are lucky they have jobs - Less babies made = more money in hand = better living conditions !
