Trouble in the Townships

 


An immigrant being chased from his home in one of South Africa's townships.
In May violence against African immigrants exploded across South Africa. Two months on thousands are still displaced, living in camps and shelters.

The government aims to have re-integrated them into the communities they fled from by the end of July.

For Assignment Robert Walker travels to one of the townships in Johannesburg where the attacks started and asks whether the violence could happen again.

First broadcast in July 2008
