We employed a professional photographer, Mark Lewis to photograph 7 case study areas in a previous ESRC project on living the peripheries.

Mark’s photos are available for viewing.

The case study of Ekangala, was one of our 7 cases in our previous project, and forms our one case study in South Africa in the new Youth Futures project. Here are a few images from this region in South Africa including a relatively run down industrial estate, Ekandustria, which offers very little employment for young people in this area.
