2. and thanks for "Viola Wilkins's Photos" (did you do it with flash?)

3. to substantiate what you said "SA having highest inequality" just referring some links (which all perhaps have seen already, but may be useful to a few - it is ALLARMING to say the least, 0.7 GINI is really unbearable, thanks for drawing attention to this fact): http://www.bikyamasr.com/74766/south-africa-income-inequality-highest-in-the-world/    http://www.chinadaily.com.cn/world/2012-08/06/content_15646527.htm    http://www.npconline.co.za/MediaLib/Downloads/Home/Tabs/Diagnostic/Economy2/Trends%20in%20South%20African%20Income%20Distribution%20and%20Poverty%20since%20the%20Fall%20of%20Apartheid.pdf
