Archbishop Desmond Tutu explains the meaning of the word Ubuntu, which has its origins in the Bantu languages:
I came to South Africa with the specific goal of making documentary images. I was interested in what post-apartheid South Africa looked like and documenting the changes. I also firmly told myself I would not take exploitative pictures of suffering or pain. And surprisingly that wasn’t hard. I mostly photographed in poor communities, such as Bo-kaap in Cape Town, Kayamandi, and the Jeffrey’s Bay township. What I found was that even though these people were born into poverty, they were still happy. This filled me with hope. The series focuses specifically on the children in the townships, who contrary to my expectations were so happy and innocent, despite living in such difficult living conditions.
