Introduction

The City of Cape is the southern most part of the African continent in the Republic of South Africa. It is a city of 3 million people. It has a well developed infrastructure and is regarded on the continent is a rich city. There are however huge disparities between those who have and those that lack. Whilst there is a large section of the city that is wealthy and well-developed, there are also many people housed in ‘tin’ houses in the slums in Khayelitsha, Gugulethu, Nyanga, and other low-income areas.
