My Scholarship entry - A 'place' I have visited

South Africa's townships are infamous for violence, and Gugulethu is no exception. After this photo was taken, Waqa called me asking for a copy. While Waqa has left violence behind, he said most of these young men had gotten drunk and been arrested later that night for the brutal beating death of a township man. The dead man’s crime: not handing over his cell phone quickly enough during a robbery. Waqa wanted a memory.
