A Thousand Words

This is a photo from a South African court room after the white blokes pictured were cleared of the murder of a black farmhand. They were fined $1740 for assault. They are relieved, yes. But it's the level look of suspicion from the guy in the centre that the money's on for mine. He reckons that justice hasn't been done, but there's not a damn thing he can do about it. And so it goes.

That is a brilliant photograph.
Unfortunately it sums up how I imagine South Africa to be. I'm sure it's not like that at all these days, but...wow.

The South African story this picture portrays would most likely be set in the eighties.
Although the scene could quite easily, and may indeed, be current, the country is now wracked by violence, corruption, AIDS, tribalism and racism for all.
