these are pictures taken in the inner city just around the corner from khanya college. they show the vulnerability of the people living in these spaces. firstly the issue of trusting their environment. they hang their clothes on window rails instead of on the roof in the space provided. this is so they do not lose the little they have as is. it is also evident that the space is too small for one but is none the less occupied by many more people, maybe to cover the costs. how much can it be to live in such run down conditions. people are attacked by their living conditions and the conditions of their environments. these are the circumstances that lead to mobilization and activism. if people just live with the shituation it could lead to social decay with issues of public indecency and violence at the fore front as these conditions breed frustration.
Afrika Writers Forum was founded as a platform for writers and readers at Khanya College Resource Centre in May 2009. The Forum started with informal meetings of writers and artists from Zimbabwe, Congo, Kenya, Nigeria and South Africa in the library of the House of Movements. It is a platform where writers can discuss and proliferate their skills in the art of writing and find ways how to publish their texts. The writers meet on Wednesdays and Fridays from 14–16h in the sixth floor, 123 Pritchard Street, Johannesburg.
