IN TRANSITION
Up-market women attend an opening of a new restaurant in Soweto, Johannesburg, South Africa, 2004. It is the biggest township in South Africa and has a population of about 3.5 million. A growing number of people belong to a new black middle-class and elite in the country, and they have money to spend on beauty, and clothes. Many have risen from poverty in the townships to a different lifestyle, since the fall of Apartheid and the start of democracy in the country in 1994.
