Children play
While Cape Town, South Africa has hit the media spotlight as a sunny, metropolitan host city of the football world cup, languishing on its outskirts is the township of Manenberg.
Built in the late 60s apartheid era to house the forcibly removed "non-whites", today it is a neglected corner of Cape Town. Gangs and drug merchants control the streets, making it one of the most dangerous places in South Africa. Prostitution, domestic violence and abject poverty abound, yet Manenberg is also vibrant, pulsating and colourful.
In this picture, children play on a street - the dividing point between two rival gangs.
