[edit] The size of Khayelitsha

Who in South Africa can rank the size of townships? I doubt very much that Sharpeville is second on the list. Soweto is a collection of townships. What about diepsloot? Johannesburg has 290 000 shanties. Gregorydavid 07:40, 26 April 2006 (UTC)

Hmm, good point. Although is one continuous area of urban development. Isn't it one municipality? Which would make the various townships of Soweto in effect suburbs of the larger urban area of Soweto. Joziboy 8 May 2006, 11:09 (UTC)

Khayelitsha is one very large demarcated area where Soweto is a collection of mature townships. One needs to compare Khayelitsha with townships of similar character like Diepsloot. Gregorydavid 15:34, 30 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] NPOV

I marked this NPOV but it should be easily rectified. Mentioning things like "Smart Technology from Canada have donated an interactive whiteboard." seems out of proportion in an informal settlement of half a million souls. – Kaihsu 12:12, 1 April 2007 (UTC)
