Kei River
The mighty Kei River that served as the border between South Africa and the pseudo-state, Transkei, from 1976 – 1994. We spent a number of hours at this river, at the former border posts, interrogating Khaya’s, her parents’, and the government’s pasts.
Old Kei Crossing
An old bridge over the Kei River, or, as we were known to say, Bridge over the River Kwaai! We spotted numerous rusty bridges through the former Transkei.

Khaya and Locals
That’s Khaya sitting in the long grass, chatting with the people who (wo)manned the tourist information centre at the Kei River. The huge billboard (the message of which no-one could explain to us) in the background is testament to Vodacom’s ubiquity and puts paid to any ideas that this idyllic green land, carefully framed by Karen-kazi, is untouched by humankind.
