Forgotten white children in squatter camps – Christmas project

Can you imagine not eating for three days; it must be a terrible experience, having to bear the discomfort or weakness associated with hunger. Starvation is not only an act of cruelty but can have serious health implications. Think of the hundreds of people in white squatter camps who remain marked by the scarcity of food and depend solely on donations from the public to survive.

It is no secret that the ANC government does not assist these camps. Due to the BEE laws, companies have to donate to black charities in order to obtain a higher score. Therefore, the white minority are excluded from government donations they depend on the public for assistance.

Squatter camps conjure up images of poverty, filth, and isolation for the regular person around the world. People often do not visit these secluded places, there is no time, there are urgent needs to attend to, and the destitute are forgotten. The cry of a child is not heard. There is no song to sing as the dark endless days of helplessness grows.

Twenty-two years into democracy have caused white squatter camps to grow in South Africa, as the poverty level increases among white people. The majority of South African white people lived a decent life before democracy. Even under apartheid, poor people were part of society but with a difference. The government at that time provided low-cost housing, adequate medical assistance, and social grants. The poor people had dignity, they had a reason to smile and look up at the clear blue skies with a grateful heart.

Boere Gemeenskap Transvaal has remained committed to helping the needy white families living in squatter camps. They have a Christmas Project – Reach out – on 17th December 2016, here is their story.
