- Description
- Diepsloot, Johannesburg, one of South Africa’s unique post-apartheid settlements, could be described as an island of poverty and strife amidst a sea of wealth and economic growth. The area, which began as a temporary settlement for displaced families in a time of radical change in the South African political landscape, was previously made up of large expanses of open space used for recreation, and is now an overcrowded settlement with major housing shortages and infrastructural insufficiencies. With some of the highest rates of violence against women in the world, Diepsloot shows a community rife with social issues, further exacerbated by substandard living conditions. This pervasive violence against women was shown to be perpetuated by men who have themselves been victims of violence in one form or another. With no known manner in which to seek assistance in dealing with their own traumas, perpetuate a cycle of violence through indeterminable generations. Undeniably a community in need of mental healthcare, Diepsloot currently has no facilities of this type, and little is known about the opportunity for seeking psychiatric assistance amongst members of the community.
