		The township of Alexandra, South Africa (more commonly referred to as Alex), was established in the early 20th century under Apartheid and is located about 10 miles from the center of Johannesburg.
		For the middle and upper strata of South Africa society, the solution is simple: pay an additional fee of several hundred to several thousand dollars a year and go to a private school; a school which takes these additional fees to build better facilities and to attract and pay all the better teachers.
		The result is clear: upper and middle class students of South Africa pass the "Matric" and end up with all of the scarce positions in the job market, the underclass remains in a downward spiral of poverty, abuse and violence.

	AEGiS-Reuters: S.Africa's income disparities widening
		ALEXANDRA, South Africa, Jan 14 - As tyres burned in the background, an angry fl woman lashed out at South Africa's ruling party, the African National Congress.
		Disturbingly, recent research by Statistics South Africa suggests that these inequalities of income -- which still run largely but not exclusively along racial lines -- may actually be growing.
		South Africa's white-dominated economy was long shielded from international competition and, while the government of the day had an almost hysterical hostility to communism and socialism, the economy was heavily state-run and subsidised.

	Powell's Books - Scribbling the Cat: Travels with an African Soldier by Alexandra Fuller
		With the same fiercely beautiful prose that won her acclaim for Don't Let's Go to the Dogs Tonight, Fuller here recounts her friendship with K. K is, seemingly, a man of contradictions: tattooed, battle scarred, and weathered by farm work, he is a lion of a man, feral and bulletproof.
		What results from Fuller's journey is a remarkably unbiased and unsentimental glimpse of men who have killed, mutilated, tortured, and scrambled to survive during wartime and who now must attempt to live with their past and live past their sins.
		Alexandra Fuller was born in England in 1969 and in 1972 she moved with her family to a farm in Rhodesia.

	From the Streets of Alexandra, South Africa: Where is Lenin Now That We Need Him? - Eric Mann
		What follows is my commentary about one important corner of the world—the township of Alexandra in Johannesburg, and the movements of resistance and the dilemmas of strategy in a post-Apartheid South Africa hemmed in on all sides by the clear and present dangers of the imperialist world order.
		Alexandra protested that as part of the local municipality act, Sandton was part of the greater Johannesburg council and its taxes had to be shared with the residents of Alexandra.
		As I leave South Africa, the primary threat to the South African revolution is not the "correct" or "incorrect" choices of its participants, but the ominous, ever-present, and escalating world dictatorship exercised by the U.S. government.
