South Africa Housing

One of President Mandela's promises for a new South Africa was improvements in housing for the country's poor. NPR's Ann Cooper revisited a refugee shelter in Johannesburg, where people who lost their homes in political violence five years ago are still living. She found that many of the residents are frustrated with the government and don't anticipate living in homes of their own in the near future.
