Langa Township, South Africa, January 2005

Located 15 km from Cape Town's city center and seen here backed by Table Mountain, this sprawling, poverty-stricken township is home to over one million residents. Langa was established in 1948 in accordance with the segregation policies of apartheid, which forcibly resettled black South Africans to townships on the city's outskirts. This picture was taken during the Institute for International Mediation and Conflict Resolution (IIMCR) Africa Symposium in Cape Town, South Africa.
