Light Years

Tall. Jan Smuts Ave. Johannesburg.

He didn't want to tell me his name. He said he comes from Diepsloot but it is too dangerous there, "too many knives and guns and murders." So he walks like this, on stilts all over the city so he can "see everything from above, so death can't reach me." It is incredible what people have to do to make ends meet in this city, this country.
