Amber and Jeff and I took a tour of Langa township. Langa was a township created for black South Africans during apartheid, and the area is still almost entirely black today.
The townships are generally poor areas, so it was interesting to see a section of relatively upscale homes within Langa. The apartheid government built these houses close to the freeway because they hoped passing foreigners would think all black people lived in nice places.
It's common to see shops in shipping containers on the sidewalk. This shop sells telephone minutes.
They were selling chickens on the sidewalk, too.
