PROJECT DETAILS
Anti-immigrant violence in South Africa has flared up in Cape Tow during 2008 as troops and police appeared to quell the unrest in the hotspot of Johannesburg.
Police reported attacks against immigrants and foreign-owned shops in a slum area of picturesque Cape Town, a major draw for tourists which had so far been spared the mob violence seen in Johannesburg.
At least 42 people were killed, more than 500 arrested and 16 000 displaced in the province of Gauteng, which includes Johannesburg and the capital Pretoria.
Moved by this, I decided to draw up a graphic story that colours this political and national crisis. I drew up the comic after writing the story.
