Deşi venitul minim lunar este mai mic decît în România, viaţa din Africa de Sud este mai scumpă. Doar preţurile combustibililor şi ale locuinţelor sînt mai mici decît la noi!
Dacă gazda Mondialului ar fi aleasă pe baza salariului minim pe economie, România n-ar avea probleme în a cîştiga. O comparaţie între noi şi Africa de Sud, statul în care astăzi debutează turneul final, scoate la iveală cîteva amănunte: veniturile de acolo sînt mai mici, alimentele, mai ales apa îmbuteliată, mai scumpe!
Faţă de ţara din sudul Continentului Negru, problemele sociale din România par insignifiante. Spre deosebire de cei aproximativ 8 la sută dintre români fără un loc de muncă stabil, aproape un sfert din populaţia Africii de Sud este şomeră şi trăieşte cu mai puţin de 1,25 dolari (3,5 lei) pe zi. Din cauza traiului de viaţă scăzut, speranţa de viaţă abia trece de pragul de 50 de ani! La noi, acest prag este situat la 68 de ani, la bărbaţi, şi la 75 de ani, la femei.
Just like in Ferentari
Because of the electricity system which is not well made and because of the equipment overstraining, many areas in South Africa stay very often without electricity, especially at rush hours. Those who do not afford or do not want to connect to the electric sources adopt a practice which we find in Bucharest, too, in Ferentari district: illegal connection.
