Time Of The Writer


Taken by Victor Dlamini, at last year's Time Of The Writer in Durban.

I am totally enamoured of black and white photography these days. This one evokes images of 1960s Nairobi parties, in newly-independent Kenya; morsels of history I've pored over in albums carefully assembled and preserved by my eldest aunt.

From Left to Right:
Emmanuel Dongala (Congo)
Ananda Devi (Mauritius)
Max Du Preez (South Africa)
Charles Mungoshi (Zimbabwe)
Dayo Forster (Gambia)
Shailja Patel (Kenya)
David Evans (South Africa)
Irene Staunton (Zimbabwe)
Kopano Matlwa (South Africa)
Angelina Sithebe (South Africa)
Kirsten Miller (South Africa)
