On Tuesday we went to visit a clinic in another township called Masiphumelele. There we met with the three peer educators who work together on education projects to teach people about HIV and AIDS and encourage them to get tested. They told us about some of the challenges of their work: the cultural attitudes towards condoms that they face, the stigma that still surrounds the disease and that promotes a widespread fear of getting tested. They took an hour to really show us around the township. It was such condensed poverty, so many people crammed into a comparatively tiny area and sharing two taps of water for drinking, bathing, cooking... the shacks were often literally strung together with garbage, and were tiny. It is strange to think that these sort of living conditions can exist just a short drive from the Camps Bay area of Cape Town, where David Beckham and other celebrities have beautiful houses on the beach. The inequalities here are glaring.
