Diepsloot is a microcosm - a post-apartheid settlement with about 250,000 people crammed into five square miles, with more than its fair share of youth, foreigners and unemployed.
Ask most people about Diepsloot and they will talk of vigilante justice, political unrest, poverty, unemployment, political protests and xenophobic violence - a haven for criminals and undocumented foreigners in the middle of one of the country's wealthiest areas.
This title takes you inside, walking the streets, meeting the people, probing the bitter local political battles, and asking what an area like Diepsloot portends for the future of South Africa.
