Oh good, that area is stunning. Enjoy it. Sani Pass or not that far south?

Very nice - although could be a bit chilly this time of year

It’s a complicated answer, with a lot of nuance involved. If I had to crassly summarise it then it would be because it is a country that has about as much stark inequality between the richest and the poorest as I’ve ever seen anywhere.

Soweto has had millions and millions invested in it, it is
Because the ANC have stolen or squandered many many billions for personal gain and political corruption. They have delivered almost nothing they promised in 1994, despite having the richest economy in sub Saharan Africa.... their failed policies have succeeded only in dividing the country more than ever,... completely failed immigration policies and infrastructure have allowed millions of illegal immigrants to steal, kill, rape and burn their way across the nation.... the poor of Soweto and every other informal settlement are no better, in fact are worse off than ever.

Even better. Been there several times, it really is beautiful. Mother in Law lived in Bergville, we lived about an hour away in Rosetta. Have a great time!

I was trying to be somewhat diplomatic with my answer
Yours is absolutely spot on though.
