Jade and Breeze, life-long friends and artists on the streets of Newtown in Johannesburg. Speaking to them, they told me graffiti is one of the few tools they have to get by when times are hard; art, expression and entertainment are always rife in Johannesburg when contentment is not.© Robynne Peatfield 2012

A learner at Thobeka Primary School in Soweto in Johannesburg. Education is a struggle and an expansion in South Africa, where we only have a 24.3% university entry pass rate.
