The Children of Durban Deep: After the Gold Rush

Durban Deep sits on Johannesburg’s West Rand and is completely plagued by warring illegal miners with only remnants of its former self remaining. Community members have become so desperate by the no shows of authority that they turn to Durban Deep based animal hospital and welfare organisation, Community Led Animal Welfare (CLAW). On Sundays CLAW runs a programme aimed specifically at the children of Durban Deep who bear the brunt of witnessing extreme violence which often includes the brutal blood sport of dog fighting. Watch below as the Masi-khuthale Gospel Choir from Durban Deep sings to the scenes of the area. Produced by Nina Oosthuizen. For more news, visit: http://www.sabc.co.za/news
