RE: A Series of Photographs of the Ponte City Building in Johannesburg, South Africa

These photos are so chilling... and remind me so much of what I saw on my travels while I was still working as a national marketing manager. Cape Town is a DA ruled city, and my gosh can you see the difference. Travelling to the Eastern Cape, specifically Port Elizabeth and then to Johannesburg for various events, I actually spent very little time in the cities "center's." They were both filled with massive empty buildings, broken windows, abandoned businesses and as you so aptly said, broken dreams. It makes me proud to be Capetonian, but we are also not completely guilt free here with a completely unfinished highway and a massive homeless issue, which is just brushed over and ignored because we happen to have a very pretty city... mostly... enough to cover up the unsightly bits we'd rather hide :(
