Worlds apart in Johannesburg.
by Aleksandra J. Heer, Institute of Geography, University of Bern, Flums, Switzerland
A poor young African woman with her baby walking the streets of Johannesburg, although everybody who can effort it, stays save in a car. Also the BP advertising panel is like purest cynicism. This image as a whole emphasizes the vast distances between rich and poor and between white and black. How relevant again and again!
