Tales from Jozi

Plot

The vibrancy and diversity of Joburg frame the stark disparities of income and poverty that characterize Africa’s richest city. Particular mention is made of the plight of the inner-city poor. Schadeberg’s photographs are enhanced with text by Stephan Hofstatter (investigative journalist and writer); Mak Manaka (poet, performer, writer); Lebo Mashile (poet, performer, media personality); Carole Rothlisberger (magazine editor and writer); Colin Jiggs Smuts (novelist, educator and cultural activist); Stuart Wilson (researcher at the Centre for Applied Legal Studies); Gringo Wotshela (writer and film-maker). The book was created in partnership with the Centre for Applied Legal Studies, Wits University.
