For many years, South Africans and citizens from neighboring countries have always looked to the city of Joburg as a place alive with possibilities. A place where opportunities for a better life are in abundance, but in reality the golden shimmer that once shone brightly has since faded, only to be replaced by red dust caused by the stamped of thousands flocking to the city. South African musical duo, Stiff Pap, teamed with photographer Tatenda Chidora to create a photo story that accurately depicts the state of today’s Joburg. The photo story is part of Stiff Pap’s upcoming project audiovisual project, Tuff Times.
