Education shebeens! Yes, that's what they are calling the Cultural Clubs set up by the A.N.C. to train the 8,000 African children who cannot or will not attend Bantu Education Schools. Education shebeens , where the children can furtively get some of the strong drink of knowledge. Playing Sip and Fly with knowlege! Because the law says no private schools may be conducted without registration by the Native affairs Department. Because if the private clubs could be proved to be private schools they would be forcibly stopped, for selling ellicit education. In Brakpan, Benoni, Germiston, NatalSpruit, Alexandra Township and Moroka the children are crowded into shacks, leaking halls, dilapidated cinemas and even open veld.

    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.

    Description: This spaza owner has grown rich and affluent. He has advertised his prominent position in the township and has grown more successful as a result. 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.

Even in the face of poverty, caused by apartheid and unequal opportunities, these guys have used wood, plastic and old tins to create these interesting bits of technology. 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.

    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.

    Description: A busy city street in Kibera slum has many people walking along it, doing their day's shopping or walking to work. 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 train in the centre of the photo carries wealthy goods on the main line from Mombassa to Nairobi. The train's brightly coloured containers are the only splash of colour to temporarily light up the browns and greys of the tin-roof shacks.

    Description: Two children play outside their house in Kibera slum where an open drain is pouring water onto the street beside them. 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 beautiful children are clean and happy beside the dirt and rubbish around their homes. Facilities are often lacking for the poorest people living in Kibera's slums.

    Description: Pigs forage among the rubbish in a polluted river in Kibera slum. Unfortunately the smell of the river equalled the sight of the sewage. People who live in shacks beside the river are often forced to vacant their properties during heavy rains when the river banks flood. Tin-roofed houses can be seen on the hillside on the right of the photograph. Kibera is Africa's largest slum with over 550,000 people (one out of every five Nairobians) living in very confined and squalid conditions.

    Description: Children from Kibera slum play outside their homes, in very unhygienic conditions. 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: A family sits outside their home in Kibera slum in southern Nairobi. Competition for land is so great that this family is forced to live on the banks of a river that frequently floods during the wet season. The family are washing their clothes, hanging them up to dry beside the heavily polluted river. 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.
