Spaces

the land around Camps Bay used to belong to black Africans. During Apartheid residents were moved to townships as a part of the forced removal policies instated by the government


The 12 apostles keep watch over Camps Bay Beach and its wealthy residents


Tin shacks in the townships like this one sleep as many as four families at once.


wine, oysters and sunsets at Camps Bay



The main taxi station in central Cape Town--combi minibuses are by far the most convenient and cheapest form of transport


champagne, gourmet sandwiches, homemade pizza, sushi, handmade jewlery and white people at the Old Biscuit Mill farmers market


To get into the city from the townships blacks and coloureds road the trains to work during Apartheid. Most of them still do. I walk under the train tracks everyday on my way to class. Sometimes when the train stops whole cars of people will be singing hymns in Xhosa. Going to work has never been this beautiful.
