Current Picture In South Africa.Old and new quarters for the natives who work in the Johannesburg area are shown in these two photos. The overcrowded slum of Sophiatown (top) will be razed and the government is building housing developments (bottom) farther out in what was once bare veld country. The advantage of newer, cleaner housing for the native is offset by the hours of traveling to and from work he has to do via the form of transportation available to him - his own feet or slow, overcrowded busses. January 14, 1955. (Photo by United Press).
