Vusi Mdoyi, center, rehearsing this month with the Step Afrika! dance group at the Soweto Theater in Soweto Township in Johannesburg.
Growing up in a Black township, Vusi Mdoyi found a sprinkle of joy under apartheid in a street-dancing style known as pantsula. As a choreographer, he has elevated it into high art, injected with ideas.

Portraits of Fire Victims: Two Toddlers Named ‘Memory,’ and a Teacher About to Wed
During the month of September, I worked closely with reporters John Eligon, Lynsey Chutel and Selam Gebrekidan on various stories for The New York Times to investigate the alarming consequences of a fire that ripped through a dilapidated, illegally occupied and overcrowded
building in downtown Johannesburg, taking the lives of 77 people.

Deadly Fire in Africa’s Richest City Exposed a Secret in Plain Sight

The inner city of Johannesburg has been a space in which I have made photographs now for over a decade. Beyond the stereotypical notions of an urban sprawl synonymous with population density, high unemployment and crime, it is also home to diverse community of people from across the African diaspora.

Earlier this year I was assigned to work with The Washington Post’s West Africa Bureau Chief, Rachel Chason on an in-depth investigative piece spanning nine days.
Logging approximately 2000 kilometers of driving deep in the heart of manganese mining country and home to the world’s principal reserves, we covered vast stretches of the central Kalahari Desert and further afield into Mbombela.
Our objective, to reveal the complexities of worker's health symptoms from manganese mining and the new wave of demand as a key mineral component in the manufacture of batteries for the electrical vehicle market.

John Eligon - Johannesburg bureau chief, translator James Mbewe and I, traveled to Jagersfontein to meet the community of Charlesville who had faced the devastating tailings dam collapse.
What we arrived at was not fully comprehensible, the mine waste that thundered through the community endangered hundreds of lives and destroyed the only possessions they had.
In the stark, muddy, grey landscape all that remained in places were footpaths to homes that were no more. With unanswered questions about why this happened and how it could have been avoided, all the community can do now is await their fate.

Earlier this year I traveled to Bulawayo, Zimbabwe to meet with Charles Moyo, Siphosami Malunga, and Zephaniah Dhlamini the owners of a farm called Esidakeni in an area known as Nyamandlovu.
My time on the ground was, low-key, fleeting, yet productive – my aim was to document what’s left of the once-thriving farm and the small allotments of production these three farmers have managed to sustain, amidst land invasion, intimidation, and costly legal ramifications.
The challenges they face, are unexpected in a country supposedly moving forward post-Mugabe’s years, yet as Sipho Malunga says, “It shows you retain land not because of the color of your skin but because of your political allegiances.” Report by John McDermott – The Economist’s chief Africa correspondent.
