Sonskyn Hoekie is a squatter camp on the edge of Pretoria, in South Africa. Confounding the usual stereotype of black informal settlements, the residents of Sonskyn Hoekie are mostly white.[1] However, the ANC has criticised news coverage of Sonskyn Hoekie and underlined that most informal settlements are black.[2][3]
Conditions
editThere is no mains electricity or water; sanitation is very basic.[4]
