South Africa is a 'vision of hell'

[dArKeR]

A British musician on Monday described the gaps between the rich and the poor in South Africa as a "vision of hell".

Eurythmics singer Dave Stewart -- who arrived in Cape Town on Monday to prepare for the 46664 Aids Awareness Concert taking place later this week -- described South Africa as scary when journalists asked for his impressions of the country.

He said he is constantly told how much South Africa has changed but he feels that things are not that much better.

"People ask me if I've been to Cape Town ... that it's really beautiful. But there are poor communities that have hardly anything. And people are saying it is much better than before. And I think, Christ, what was it like before? The extremities are really scary ... it's like a vision of hell," he said.
