Experiencing the Townships in South Africa At the turn of the 20th century racial segregation became prominent in South Africa and the history of community removals and marginalisation had begun. In 1966, an apartheid government declared valuable urban areas "whites only" areas and all people of colour were forcibly removed from their homes to the barren low-lying outer areas of the cities, their homes bulldozed to the ground.The low-lying...more

Although this may be less true all the time, many seniors today adhere to a belief in the value of frugality and strict minimalism. Many of these people have worked very hard all their lives and live with the belief that luxury is "for other people." In many cases these people are sitting on a very comfortable nest egg of their own creation yet they do not want to touch. If I'm describing your parents, and you see no problem with this mentality, let me suggest something: change their minds. You may even owe it to them. Your parents deserve the best but they likely do not consider that to be true. You should help them get used to the idea and go out of your way to convince them to live it up in their twilight years. Haven't they always given you the best, told you that you deserve good things in life and looked out for you to make sure you get the best? Why not repay them the favor? There are many ways that seniors can live it up. Certainly, travel is one way, going on high priced cruises or spending time at high-end resorts. In other ways, they may already spend more money on themselves than they ever did in their younger years. But what about living in luxury every day? That's...more

La Celeste fell 3-1 to eventual winners Brazil at Mexico 1970, and went on to finish fourth.

The teams' solitary previous meeting at the FIFA World Cup came in the 1974 tournament.
