The battle for Johannesburg
Description
The Battle for Johannesburg captures the changing face of a city about to host the 2010 FIFA World Cup. As property developers fight for pieces of the crumbling city, the city council is determined to create a world class city. This affects hundreds of thousands of people in the city slums. As areas around stadiums get a brush up and the middle classes begin to move in, beneath the scramble for property and space is a human story of survival.
