This video piece below is just brilliant. Here’s the set-up: What if two black Capetonians (both photographers) went to Camps Bay doing “an alternative township tour” to invert the “township tour”? The video is by LiveSA, a Cape Town based web and print initiative staffed by young black people: “Recently LiveSA made a news insert for eNCA about township tours in South Africa – do they promote tired stereotypes? Are they ‘poverty porn’ for tourists? Can young people re-invent the township tour?”

For those not familiar with “township tours,” read Busisiwe Deyi’s post from last year. In short, township tours are instances “where tourists are taken in buses through townships to experience ‘authentic’ South Africa.” (BTW, Deyi’s post also takes on a supposedly progressive variant of township tours, “social justice tours.”) As for Camps Bay, it’s a largely white neighborhood of the super rich on Cape Town’s Atlantic Seaboard, which is as much a legacy of Apartheid. There’s little else to add other than to say watch the video and see how all the whites featured do exactly what you thought they would do. From the white man who announces that his dogs are barking because ‘they don’t recognize strangers.‘ Then there’s the people at a restaurant who are annoyed at this intrusion on their privacy and “Desmond,” “their black” (because that’s what he is), to deal with “these people.”

i myself would never want to be god,or even like god.Because god got all these human beings on this planet and i most certainly would not want to be responsible for them, or even have the disgrace that i made them.

We had a cabbie take us to a township in Cape Town, but we didn't want to get out and walk around. Just didn't feel right.

Let my love slide in and never slip out

in the memory of NYC upt JUX�

its good for the web but there is too much cognitive distance for the rich people being observed in that they wont make the connection

its like asking a blind person explaining the color blue
