"Hidden Minority: South Africa's White Poor"

Fela Cook, 33, wrestles with a camp dog at the Sonskynhoekie (Sunshine) Care Centre, a non-profit shelter north of Pretoria. While she is now on state-provided medication, her mental illness was so severe that she used to cut herself on her forearm to "relax." Her father died when she was one, the state took her away from her mother when she was three. Corrie Botes, 52, came to the camp with her son Johannes when her husband, the sole wage earner, died suddenly.
