The word "township" has particular connotations in South Africa. When we hear it, we think of very poor communities, often (almost always, in fact) shanty towns or otherwise comprised mostly of informal dwellings and little to no service delivery, often considered hubs for crime or criminal syndicates.

I take it that's more-or-less the total opposite of what people in the rest of the world picture when they hear the term. :/
