Khomo e kopanya lichaba: Exhibition reads Soweto s livestock farming as a form of resistance

The rearing of livestock in urban settings can be traced back to the 1980s.  As more people from the homelands came to the city looking for jobs, those who were unable to gain employment returned to their birth right: livestock ownership. Under another light, livestock farming in the township is a form of resistance against the apartheid system which tried to strip black people of their humanity. It was a typical scene in Soweto, like in many other townships across South Africa, along the main road next to Orlando Stadium. The cars were bustling with cars and people were walking to and from work, school or errands. Taxi drivers honked their horn in melody. Passengers signalled an assortment of destinations: index finger pointed down meant a local trip; index finger pointed up meant a trip to the Johannesburg CBD.
