This hour: two stories of people living “at the edge.” In the South African township of Soweto, young people feel the brunt of soaring unemployment as they keep trying to land jobs. And in Cuba, residents of Guantanamo City feel that the rich heritage of their city is overshadowed by international attention on the Guantanamo Bay detention center. |

Unemployment is rampant in the Soweto township in Johannesburg, South Africa. It's especially high among young people. Four out of ten young Sowetans are without work. In this documentary produced for the BBC World Service, job seeker Anza Dali seeks out a couple of other unemployed young people in the township, and offers us this glimpse of what it's like to be living on the edge in South Africa.

For most of us "Guantanamo" is synonymous with the detention center at the U.S. naval base in Cuba. But Guantanamo is also the name of a province in Cuba, as well as a city. More than 200,000 people live in the city of Guantanamo, with its restaurants, nightclubs, and beaches. This is the Guantanamo that Cubans know, away from the media spotlight on detainees. In this documentary produced for the BBC World Service, Polly Evans travels to Cuba to meet some of the people who call Guantanamo home.
