When you visit South Africa you immediately notice the difference between black and (mainly) while settlements.

Usually whites hide themselves behind walls and barricades, often even protected by electrical fences. Into these areas you proceed like into a prison, guarded by security.
Blacks however mostly live under poor and simple conditions.
Since the end of Apartheid differences are reduced, but many blacks are not really unhappy with their "living standard".

These are the homes of the blacks:

And those are the homes of the better blacks:

Blacks like painting their houses.

In 1999 und 2000 I was twice in Volksrust, about 250 km south-east of Johannesburg.
It is not really a nice town. Nearby there is a coal fired power station - Majuba - named after the famous hill near Volksrust where the Britains were conquered by the boers in 1881 .

I lived at Stucky's - a german who emigrated to South Africa in the 50s. Besides a guest house he runs a pub which cannot be more german!
Everything is dedicated to beer, they play german music and of course they serve many german dishes.
