South Africa – Table Mountain

Travel and Photography

Table Mountain is the symbol of Cape Town. We went up by cable car to see the magnificent views over the city, harbour and surround. We were fortunate because our South African friends showed us around so we got to see things that others might not.

South Africa – Cape Town – photos in and around.

We stayed with friends out in the wine country, travelled along the coast, went into Cape Town and up Table Mountain.

Fabulous.

Photography – South Africa – The other side – crowding, squalor, townships, poverty.

When you cross the road from the beauty and lavish housing of Stellenbosch you find the Townships where the poor blacks live – shanty towns of corrugated iron. There is huge overcrowding, poverty, violence and deprivation.

These are the toilets for the whole Township. They empty via a pipe straight out into the ocean. Millions of gallons of raw untreated sewage forms a huge brown slick along the coast.

These are some of the friendly denizens of the township.

The inequality and racism needs addressing!!
