South Africa

This project came about through a journey taken from Durban to Port Elizabeth to Cape Town in South Africa. This led to visiting Khayelitsha, one of the largest and fastest growing townships in Western Cape Town, located on the Cape Flats in the city of Cape Town. Khayelitsha, meaning 'new home', was established in 1985 and large amounts of people were forcefully relocated there. In 2012 the population of Khayelitsha is approximately 426, 620 and reaching 80% unemployed. The majority of people have electrify and there are toilets and water taps at each edge of the township.
