BLOOMBERG MARKETS MAGAZINE
In recent months, South Africa has faced increased rolling blackouts across major cities and suburban spaces driving a stake between those that can afford alternative power sources and those that cannot.

THE NEW YORK TIMES
John Eligon - Johannesburg bureau chief, translator James Mbewe and I, traveled to Jagersfontein to meet the community of Charlesville who had faced the devastating tailings dam collapse.
What we arrived at was not fully comprehensible, the mine waste that thundered through the community endangered hundreds of lives and destroyed the only possessions they had.
In the stark, muddy, grey landscape all that remained in places were footpaths to homes that were no more. With unanswered questions about why this happened and how it could have been avoided, all the community can do now is await their fate.

THE ECONOMIST_1843 MAGAZINE
Earlier this year I traveled to Bulawayo, Zimbabwe to meet with Charles Moyo, Siphosami Malunga, and Zephaniah Dhlamini the owners of a farm called Esidakeni in an area known as Nyamandlovu.
My time on the ground was, low-key, fleeting, yet productive – my aim was to document what’s left of the once-thriving farm and the small allotments of production these three farmers have managed to sustain, amidst land invasion, intimidation, and costly legal ramifications.
The challenges they face, are unexpected in a country supposedly moving forward post-Mugabe’s years, yet as Sipho Malunga says, “It shows you retain land not because of the color of your skin but because of your political allegiances.” Report by John McDermott – The Economist’s chief Africa correspondent.

An assignment for ActionAid took me to Mpumalanga province in South Africa to document the coal mining industry. ‘Dirty Power At Whose Cost?’ was compiled as a 33 page photo book covering various in depth issues on the subject. The photo book was developed as part of the on-going work of the Mining and Extractives programme of ActionAid South Africa (AASA), which works with communities affected by mining.
