IN TRANSITION
Bonginkosi Bauuma, age 15, washes her body in the family shack before going to school in Khayelitsha, the biggest black township outside Cape Town, South Africa, 2003. The family doesn’t have electricity or running water. They heat water with paraffin stove. Her father works as a cleaner at a primary school, and the mother at a pre-school. It's estimated that over one million people live here, most of them under appalling conditions in shacks with no running water or electricity.
