Description/Reflection
These men are some of the many homeless that congregate around an area served by CCFM Christian Radio called Muisenberg , outside of Cape Town . Stricken with alcoholism and poverty , they sit in this same place , outside of a bar , everyday . Like so many others in that area , they survive day-to-day , waiting for hand-outs from the radio station at lunchtime or good deals on liquor when the truck makes its deliveries . They have become silhouettes of the thousands in South Africa that survive in a world of bullet holes and razor wire in a state of post-apartheid poverty .
