Rich poor man
3:4 format
Neil K., a former anti-apartheid activist, in front of his very basic home in Khayelitsha, a huge township near Cape Town, South Africa.
Neil has a simple metal bed, a metal table with two chairs, a fridge and a few shelves -- and approximately 300 books stacked to the ceiling. He told me that his two daughters had studied at "a real university" and were still visiting him frequently.
When I left him, still struggling to imagine what this man had gone through, I thought he was one of the happiest persons I had ever met.
