Photo by: James Oatway
An army of riders ferry food around the South African city, their lives and travails largely unseen by the people they serve.
With the support of the FES South Africa, photojournalist, James Oatway spent several months accompanying them in their daily work. His powerful photos and their personal testimonies were published in the Guardian, documenting their challenges as well as their great solidarity. The photographic essay can be accessed here.
