Daleside

French photographer Cyprien Clément-Delmas and South African photographer Lindokuhle Sobekwa have collaborated to create a portrait of Daleside, a small and isolated Afrikaner suburb south-east of Johannesburg. The two photographers met through the Of Soul and Joy programme, launched by Rubis Mécénat in Thokoza, and became friends. Their resulting images provide a counterpoint of aspirations and distress — looking beyond the deep-seated Black/white binary, they depict the poverty afflicting Black and white residents alike as forgotten members of society.
