Rural challenges in South Africa

The video looks at the role of land ownership, subsistence farming, the caste system, climate, globalisation, lack of access to basic services, the plight of women. It shows the impacts of this poverty and what life is like in a poor rural area and goes on to look at various ways this poverty can be alleviated, including: providing better access to education, health, improving farming methods, micro-credit schemes aimed at women and care of the orphan Elders left behind as the young migrate to the city.
