PHOTOGRAPHY / SABELO MLANGENI

I’ve featured the work of Johannesburg photographer Sabelo Mlangeni before. The photographs above is from his series “Men Only” series which documents the daily routines of residents of the run-down George Goch hostel on the East Rand of Johannesburg. The “hostel” (more like structures fit for animals) was built by mining capital for black migrant workers at least fifty years ago. Mlangeni aimed to “… capture the normality that exists in an abnormal, unnatural situation.”


The entire series
