The fields are ripe...


Multi cultures---Afrikaans, Zulus, Blacks, Coloreds, Indians, Whites, Rastafarian cultures. Multi religions---Hindu, Muslim, Christian. The fast growing area in the world for Christianity! There are also the Squatters, political refugees who migrate down to South Africa looking for hope. They stand on the side of the roads hoping for a job each day. Anything they can find in the trash or side of the road they will put together for a shack. They have no running water, no toilet, no electricity. There are thousands of these squatters villages all over the countryside. The government will put an electric pole in the middle of some of them as you will see dozens of wires running from one pole. Some villages have a few port-a-johns for hundreds to use. There is a problem with rampant fires throughout the villages because the shacks are so close together.
