South Africa report # 4


During my 10 days in South Africa I managed to meet quite a few people. One thing that kind of struck me was the fact all of the families I met are dysfunctional. All families have either children out of wedlock, or have children from previous marriages or children are being razed by grand parents. People are not embarrassed to talk about it. At the first visit with the family I am learning who is whose biological father and how old were their children when parents finally married. For some reason I was under impression that divorce and other family problems is western sickness, but I guess I was wrong. Even the poorest people are going through that.
