For instance, it speaks to how the black schools are more ill equipped to teach children, whereas the white schools are more equipped, and funded. Interestingly enough this relates to a point, that Erin, our interviewee made, that in order to get out of poverty you need to be educated. In addition, this article states that the government is not providing black schools what is necessary for success. One may make the connection that the government is intentionally stifling black children by not educating them.
Furthermore, the geographical distribution of blacks and whites is still in an apartheid era. As you read earlier the South African government intentionally placed blacks and whites in different neighborhoods, and to this day, the landscape looks similar. The author of the article goes onto say, “townships still make social mobility a formidable task”
Though a good source the author displays a clear slant where he states, “it is quite clear that South Africa benefits from its Social Inequality.” He goes on to rationalize this by saying that the government preys on the cheap labor provided by the impoverished blacks. The author suggests that to solve the problem massive government projects must happen in order to increase literacy, and to redistribute the blacks over the city.
I found this source to be helpful, but must take it information with the slant. Therefore, I must be careful if I am to make a direct quote for my movie script.
