Mandela Statue

The statue of Nelson Mandela in Mandela Square Sandton.

Waiters

At a quick glance this looks like a group of devotees preparing for a church service. The dish cloths tucked under their belts gives it away as a group of waiters listening to a pep talk before the start of the evening shift. Photographed at the Sandton Shopping Mall.

Home sweet home

I came across this house on a pavement in Benoni early one morning while waiting for my daughter to complete her exam. The owner agreed to be photographed wile reading his morning paper. On the one hand we cannot allow people to erect houses on pavements everywhere. On the other hand I have to respect the owner for what he is doing. Behind him is a flat trolley typically used to collect recyclable material like paper and plastic. Instead of doing crime or begging he is making a living for him self. His dwelling seems fairly comfortable given where and what it is. Much like the owner of a much bigger business, he is reading his morning newspaper in the early morning sun.
