KAPSTADT: Morde und Tourismus – Warum Besucher trotzdem in die Metropole reisen

Cape Town is considered a dream destination. White beaches, luxurious neighborhoods, good food. Millions of tourists travel to the metropolis at the foot of Table Mountain every year. The Cape region alone sees around six million visitors. Many pay in euros and live cheaply. But behind the facade lies a different reality. Almost 3,000 murders were registered last year. The crime rate is high. Many people live in poverty in the townships. Jobs are scarce. Opportunities are lacking. Young people are particularly affected. Unemployment is almost 70 percent. Families live crammed together in corrugated iron shacks. Government assistance is barely enough to survive. While tourists jog, work, and relax on the beach, others struggle for their daily food. Cape Town combines luxury and misery in a very small space. Tourism drives the economy. But it doesn't reach everyone. Those who visit the city often only see one side. The other begins just a few kilometers away. Cape Town remains a city of contrasts. Fascinating. Beautiful. And brutal at the same time. ... #CapeTown #Tourism #Crime #Townships #Poverty #SouthAfrica #Inequality #Reality #WorldNewsEnd 🔵 WELT DOKU YouTube Channel    / weltdoku   🔵 The WELT News Livestream    / @weltvideotv   🔵 WELT Podcasts YouTube Channel    / weltpodcast   🔵 WELT News Channel YouTube Channel    / weltvideotv   🔵 WELT Network Reporter YouTube Channel    / dienetzreporter   🔵 The Top News on WELT.de http://bit.ly/2rQQD9Q 🔵 The Media Library on WELT.de http://bit.ly/2Iydxv8 🔵 WELT News Channel on Instagram https://bit.ly/IGWELTTV 🔵 WELT on Instagram http://bit.ly/2X1M7Hk
