Riverlea

Residents of Riverlea in Johannesburg protest about houses and service delivery.I was amazed at the amount of youngsters involved in this protest, I was speaking to a few of them, they said that their parents were at work, their school had been closed, so they simply joined the crowds throwing stones at the cops whilst dodging rubber bullets.
The multi-million Rand Soccer City looms large over the impoverished people of Riverlea.

The Calabash

Soccer City stadium near Soweto, Johannesburg celebrated its roof wetting. The main construction is complete and it's really quite an awesome stadium, I can't wait to go there to watch, G1 vs G3 during the World Cup tournament (I have bought my tickets, I just dont know who will be playing yet.) The interior of the stadium is quite impressive.A lone vuvuzela blower awaits the thousands of fans.

Cats

The cast of Cats during a media rehearsal in the Teatro at Montecasino, 29 September 09.I'll admit that I didn't expect much, but was very impressed with the costumes and stage design of the South African version of the hit broadway musical "Cats", it was quite intimidating at times when we were photographing the cast performing various moves and poses and rushing up to us in a very upset feline manner :)
