Refuse removal strike

Yeoville, Berea and Hillbrow are high density residential areas in the heart of Johannesburg. A two week strike by municipal workers ended recently. Rubbish has not been removed for the duration of the strike. People in flats have nowhere to go with their rubbish, thus the rubbish ends up at collection points in the streets.

Three Sisters



These three hillocks are located next to a small Karoo town called Three Sisters. The town was named after the three similar looking hillocks. This image shows two of the sisters with the third sister just visible in the middle.

Cape Town Harbour



The harbour at Cape Town from the V&A waterfront. The harbour developed into a vibrant shopping and tourist hot spot. The nearby aquarium is worth a visit.

Table Mountain



Table Mountain remains one of South Africa's special sights. This view was special to me as I last saw the mountain in this way when I serviced in the Navy many years ago.
