IN TRANSITION
Two young men stand in suits and hat outside their homes after they have returned from a manhood ceremony in a rural area, in the Eastern Cape, South Africa, 2001. They live in Khayelitsha, the largest and poorest black township outside Cape Town, South Africa. They were circumcised and taught how to prepare for manhood during a one-month stay in a hut in the bush.
