Despite twenty years of democracy, inequalities still exist between teenagers of different race groups in Johannesburg, according to a survey released on Wednesday.
The survey found major differences in the living conditions of black, white, coloured and Indian/Asian teenagers, despite reforms that had been implemented since apartheid ended in 1994.These included "neighbourhood, school and household inequalities".
