Back 2 Siboneli & Municipality elections

I'm went back to the Seboneli school for the Visual Impaired. I made school photo's about the children. It's a bit struggling to get the pics right cause of course the children are blind, deaf or both. For me it nice to see that children are take care of. The school is nice and clean, the teachers are very helpful and patience and my contact Sam Boshielo is a nice guy who take good care of the children. The school also has a hostel because the children are coming from all over the country.

May 18 election day for South Africa. The citizens above 18 years are then allowed to vote for their favourite party in the 3thrd annual municipality elections since the end of the Apartheid

The ANC dominates the governing system of the country, but by the many (corruption) scandals, broken promises and questionable decisions many people begin to doubt the party that freed South Africa from the apartheid. Many people thinks that South Africa is not the democracy that they were hoping for. Experts believe that these elections will bring several changes

I did a photo report about the volunteers from the ANC operatives in Vereeniging, south of Johannesburg. The volunteers in the run up to the elections of 3 hours at night until late into the night trying to voters to win. For these people, the ANC is the only party that can help South Africa and especially they criticize the other parties.

When you vote for the ANC, Also you are choosing to go to heaven. When you do not vote for the ANC You Should Know That You Are That Man Who Carries choosing a fork ... people who cooks.

Story about South Africans hidden poverty

I'm doing a story about the white poverty in South Africa, a story about a lot of white South Africans whom are living under the povertyline. It's about 10% of the white population in South Africa. There's a law that people who consider themselves the designated  party get priority for a job. Some people say that the a lot of people are 'victims of reverse-apartheid'
For me as a outsider I find this very awful. It is becoming more awful when also a president takes sides, but for me I find it a type of revenge what the government is doing here.
The world said that the apartheid in South Africa is over...not entirely. It has moved to a another level of civilisation. 
This is a silent problem, that must be cared of.

I also linked a photostory from Reuters photographer Finbarr O'Reilly who went to South Africa and made these pictures.
