This series will make more sense if you start it at "Soweto: A Tale of Resilience and Struggle Part 1."
A home that is not made of corrugated material.
You can see that they have electricity. Many homes also had running water, which was better than living in the rural areas.
Most homes even had a small yard, of some sort, usually used for storage or as a workspace.
This family made a playground for their children.
A look down into a different residential area of Soweto.
A closer view as from the above photo.
A group of children outside the house in the second photo above. Note the razor wire around the homes.
A shop of some sort.
A combination grocery and cafe.

Their homes are not classy, but certainly are colorful.
Vibrant color doesn't cost any more than dull, and they did all they could to make their homes look like happy places.

They were very unique people. Many of them lived through the uprising and didn't get to see much, if any, improvement in their lives. When we were there nearly twenty years ago, it was still a very dangerous area to live in.

Even with all that poverty and turmoil, so many colorful things and these people look clean and their clothes look neat and clean. Your pictures are multi-emotional. You always manage to capture the good and the bad together in all your images.

Jo, when I take photos of my travels I try, as much as possible in the all to briefly passing moments, to capture life the way I witness it in the country in which I am visiting. That's always my goal. There's no such animal as "truth," but this is truth the way I see it as best as I can determine.
