Because if the private clubs could be proved to be private schools they would be forcibly stopped, for selling ellicit education.

Description: The bright white washing was difficult to photograph and I was relieved when my compromise light meter found one setting that showed it off against the stark lines of the township around it. The dollops of red, yellow in green gives the picture life. These shacks were about to be demolished when I took these pictures. In their place the government has built two-story apartment blocks. These shacks have developed because of years of influx control under apartheid. In the homelands, or Bantustans, there were not enough jobs and not enough land. People had to move to the city. Today township dwellers are a powerful lobby group and our government is providing electricity and other services.

This is a wonderful example of the two economies in South Africa. Here in the township, where the poor live, we also see an upper-class shack dweller developing. These shacks were about to demolished when I took these pictures. In their place the government has built two-storey apartment blocks. (At least one person will feel at home on the top storey!) These shacks have sprung up because of years of influx control under apartheid. In the homelands, or Bantustans, there were not enough jobs and not enough land. People had to move to the city. Today township dwellers are a powerful lobby group and our government is providing electricity and other services to them.

Title: Shanty Town in Kempton Park
Path: african.pictures / The Media Bank / Izak de Vries
Description: These shacks are in Kempton Park, Gauteng. The history of the squatter movement in Gauteng is well-documented. In the homelands, or Bantustans, there were not enough jobs and not enough land. People had to move to the city. During the period around the Second World War, the black urban population of South Africa nearly doubled. Huge areas of informal settlement grew around Johannesburg and, to a lesser extent, other major cities. One of the most famous leaders in the Squatter Movement, was James Mpanza. In defiance of the laws forcing Black people out of "white" areas, Mpanza and other leaders urged their followers to set up informal settlements. They provided hessian for shanties, employed a camp police force, controlled trading rights and charged the inhabitants levies to pay for services. The government could no longer deny the need for black settlements and eventually the central government and the Johannesburg City Council began setting up emergency camps. Today township dwellers

Description: A man braves the muddy road conditions to pull his cart loaded with building materials through the streets of Kibera. Kibera is Africa's largest slum with over 550,000 people (one out of every five Nairobians) living in very confined and squalid conditions. The rains have produced very muddy city streets, but business must continue and the cart must be pulled through both flooded streets and mud. Rusty tin-roofed shacks line the street behind, many operating as little shops and stores.

Rubbish covers the area like a thick vegetation mat, and is also deposited by the polluted stream flowing at the bottom of their back yard. Children are highly at risk living in this environment. Latrines with numbers on the green doors line the back of the photograph, providing a play space for children who watch the stream below them. Kibera is the largest slum in Africa, home to over 550,000 people, which constitutes one in every five people living in Nairobi.

Description: Brown tin-roofs interconnect forming a maze of houses in Kibera slum outside Nairobi. The houses press up against the tropical forest jungle in the distance, hemming the people into a confined space. Many people's washing hangs on ropes strung between buildings, giving spashes of colour to the otherwise brown and grey shacks. Kibera is the largest slum in Africa, home to over 550,000 people, which constitutes one in every five people living in Nairobi.
