fences, informal settlement, Swakopmund

"Poverty in the communal areas and the resulting depopulation are the driving forces for the increasingly accelerating growth of "informal settlements". It attracts more and more people from impoverished rural areas to the cities, but there is neither work nor sufficient (affordable) housing. Most of the newcomers end up in one of the many informal "squatter camps" on the outskirts of the cities." - A.Rohwer
