With its less than stellar history on treating its people well, you would think that South Africa would be careful as it plans to host the upcoming World Cup. Sadly, that is not the case as the country is getting ready for the soccer tournament by relocating scores of homeless people awaw from World Cup sites. The country isn't giving these people homes, it's simply dumping them off-camera where the world won't notice. This comes after the government had promised that no homeless would be moved for the World Cup and it, unsurprisingly, has led to all sorts of human rights protests.
