As South Africa celebrates Human Rights Month, the country reflects on the progress made in establishing a democratic society.
While the country and government have made significant efforts to improve and balance the living standards of people, especially in the post-apartheid era, residents of Mangidini Village, Ward 7 under the Nkandla Local Municipality, still believe that they are treated unequally compared to other South African citizens due to a lack of service delivery and the difficult conditions under which they live.
This comes as Gabisile Biyela 91, from Mangidini has gone for several months without getting her medical treatment due to the distance to the local clinic, as she can no longer walk by herself.
