Moving in time - Images of life in a democratic South Africa (Book)

On 27th April 2004, South Africa's new democracy will be ten years old. It has been a memorable decade, certainly one of the most fascinating in this country's history. South Africa's transition to democracy set off a whirlwind of change. Social dynamics were unleashed, leading to rapid, exhilarating - and sometimes bewildering - transformation in every sphere of South African society. Moving in Time: Images of Life in a Democratic South Africa presents South Africans with an ideal opportunity to look back at this eventful period; to take stock of what has happened, celebrate their achievements and assess their shortcomings. This book aims at creating a permanent record of this seminal decade. Although ultimately, a celebration of the achievements of a nation that has managed to come together after centuries of division and conflict, this photographic essay also portrays some problem areas such as poverty, crime and HIV/AIDS. The photographs depict all the aspects of life in this country over the past decade and include achievements in areas such as the arts, education, science, sport, commerce and politics.
