the photo’s are very raw and powerful!
THough if i could mention one thing from my personal experience doing a photo project in S.Africa is that although the justaposition of these photo’s would seem to suggest a clear divide between black and white south africans-it forgets to include the fact that although racism is still prevalent, increasingly its between blacks on blacks-Frustrated South Africans having to deal with illegal immigration from other African nations such as zimbabwe etc. From my experience i saw that there was more a feeling of a class war amongst people of all races opposed to just simply their skin color (although equally relevent)
thanks for taking the time to document these important issues!

I find something about his photos really unsettling. Its great, he really has captured how people feel about Apartheid.
