IN TRANSITION
Men play soccer in the streets in Khayelitsha, the biggest black township outside Cape Town, South Africa, 2004. It's estimated that over one million people live here, most of them under appalling conditions, in shacks with no running water or electricity. The township was founded in 1984 and it still attracts people from the rural areas that look for work in Cape Town. Most people don't find work and a lucky few are paid low wages used mostly as maids and day laborers.
