Difference in Communities:
A Community can be defined as a group of people who share similar needs and wants. After apartheid ended in 1994, the new government of South Africa sought to provide for basic needs such as running water, electricity, housing and infrastructure for hospitals, police and schools to all communities.
This has been a slow process and although much has been accomplished, there are unfortunately still communities in South Africa that lack this basis services. As a result, many communities have realized that it is up to them to take the initiative and provide for their own needs.
This got hand with the policy of Masakane and sustainable development. The Department of Education has joined the slogan “It takes a village to raise a child” All the people within the community should work together for the greater good of the whole community.
A society consists of communities and the needs of each community will change according to time and circumstances. A community lives together in one area and shares common characteristics and values. It can be made up of many units, schools, age groups, cultural groups and professional groups.
It is interesting to look at the reason why different areas have developed. Towns and cities tend together to grow at a phenomenal rate as the needs and wants of people grow. Often the original reason for existence of a place is forgotten as it changes. Reasons for establishment of towns can vary from trade Harbour and industry to mining, education and natural resources.
A good example is the city of Durban which was started with discovery of establishing Harbours which now has grown to establishing another big Harbour in Richards Bay where most countries are able to transport through the sea. Fortune seekers from all over the world came to trade in South Africa, Durban. These people had wants which needed to be satisfied and as a result, hotels, shops schools and many other buildings sprang up. There were now jobs and people flocked to the area.

Standard of Living and Poverty

These needs are usually expressed in terms of income (money). This income is known as the poverty income. Poverty income varies according to the size of households – the larger the households - the larger the income needs its members out of Poverty.

The Effect of Apartheid Economic Policies
South Africa’s colonial past the main reason for the policies and canes that were introduced After Union in 1910. These policies and laws become generally known as “apartheid”. Apartheid was the policies and practices of separateness. This means that it deliberately kept white people living apart from their black compatriots (fellow citizens). It ensures that only white people could do skilled and well-paid work and do business anywhere in the country.
The result was that most black people in the country were politically excluded from making decision that affected their lives. They were for instance not allowed to vote for a national government.
