Rats scurry and sewage water trickles past the ramshackle huts, which are home to tens of thousands of people in the township of Alexandra in South Africa.
"There’s no water at all. There’s no toilet, there’s no electricity, there’s nothing," Pamela Nhobela, who has lived in the same shack for 12 years, tells me.
“My life is not worth living here. It’s like living in a graveyard. We live with rats and the environment is not good. There’s nothing good about this area, nothing at all.”
