Lines Dividing Rich And Poor Captured With Drones
For his new project “Unequal Scenes” Cape Town-based photographer Johnny Miller used a drone to show the inequality that exists in the Republic of South Africa.
“Discrepancies in how people live are sometimes hard to see from the ground. The beauty of being able to fly is to see things from a new perspective – to see things as they really are. Looking straight down from a height of several hundred meters, incredible scenes of inequality emerge.” – wrote Miller.
Miller explains that some of the communities were “designed with separation in mind,” while others grew “more or less organically.” This is the result of the Apartheid policies when racial segregation was enforced by law. While these policies were eliminated 22 years ago, in reality, “many of these barriers, and the inequalities they have engendered, still exist.”

In Brazil is almost the same, but it ocurred much more organically, as this photo from Sao Paulo city (Paraisopolis neighborhood). desigualda...b163ef.jpg 
There has always been income inequality and there always will be. To make everyone equal is to bring all down to the lowest level. That is communism and it doesn't work.
It's possible there is a new form of government that we have not thought of *yet* that will resolve a lot of our issues including inequality. The sooner we stop dwelling on what didn't work in the past, the sooner we can move forward.

Sadly, this is the same case in the States. Fly over any major city and you'll see the separation. Even driving, you can definitely tell when you've "crossed the tracks." Instead of dealing with the problem, though, many people just choose to hide it, like in the pic from the golf course.
Amazing juxtapositions; the gap between rich and poor is not as wide as we think.
So is that about "The Pass" take some pictures in Refugees Camps... and see if is not the same ... and this one has fences and barbwires4
I didn't like it, but only because I hate that it is like that! That in a world where God has provided everything it is so terribly hard for people to share their talents!
People come from all over Africa to the southern most parts where the climate is harshly cold and wet in the winter months. Local government delivering services and reliable, affordable energy is the reason. Give people the means and opportunity and they will strive and thrive.
People come from all over Africa to find work here. Climate wise, the southern most parts of Africa are harsh but good infrastructure and local government affords workers protection from the cold and provides cheap and reliable energy so they can make a better life for themselves than most other metropoles in Africa.
funny you guys thinking those lower middle class homes are "rich" people
Many of those photos are just bigger and smaller houses. Real poor is not having a house.
spoken like someone who has never lived in a bad neighborhood...

Millions of people work VERY hard their whole lives, sometimes even 2 jobs to make ends meet, and they never make enough to buy a nice house.

So all people who have a little more land and some trees i.e. "the suburbs" are rich?
This has nothing to do with apartheid - that is just a comment seeking to stir the pot from a photographer that has presumably not traveled out of South Africa. This sort of 'segregation' between wealthy and poor living areas exists in every country across the world. There never has been equality in the human race and there probably never will be.
So we should just give up the fight because things will "never change" according to you? Why do you seem like you actually don't want things to change?

If you are going to copy it from somewhere, at least have the decency to copy it from where it's spelled correctly.
