I met Dora when we were out photographing in Orange Farm one Saturday. As the group walked round the community with our cameras we were invited into peoples’ homes, asked what we were doing and then asked to ‘shoot’. It was very encouraging for me and the rest of the group – they couldn’t believe how friendly everyone was.
Dora is a lifelong ANC supporter but wanted us to photograph her so that the powers that be would help her. She’s not well and the house she’s living in is in disrepair.

Hey Lydia,
The blog looks great. Good to see the project is coming along. From your pictures it looks like the participants are really getting involved, which must make the whole thing feel that much more worthwhile.
Wishing you all the best.
Love the photos - though not surprised about this.
I wonder how long the people are going to remain so loyal to the ANC? Bringing an end to apartheid obviously guarantees a huge amount of loyalty, but people are really starting to feel as though they have been left behind...
