IN TRANSITION
Residents rush to save their belongings as a shack fire is raging in Duncan Village, a poor township outside East London in Eastern Cape province, South Africa, 2001. It’s on of the poorest areas in South Africa. Fires are very common as the shacks are built very close to each other and people are using paraffin stoves, which easily fall over, and the fires spread quickly.
