IN TRANSITION
Chanel Botha, age 13, stands in the living room of her family house with her cat in Orania, in the Northern Cape, South Africa, 2003. Fanie Botha, her father, works as a builder and Chanel attends CVO, a conservative Christian school. The village was founded in 1991 and bought by descendants of Hendrik Verwoerd, the architect of Apartheid. It is a private village, only accepting white people. About 600 people live in the village and they celebrate their culture and keep traditions alive.
