Workshop | Accord Conflict & Peace Training
CAP photographers Niamh Walsh-Vorster, Thobani Khumalo and Sibusiso Nzimande attended a 3 day workshop on Xenophobia and Conflict Management Training with The African Centre for the Constructive Resolution of Disputes (ACCORD), alongside leaders of the faith-based community.

The training focused on dialogue, reconciliation and the networks that enable them. CAP photographers were encouraged to take part in the training as some of their work might engage in issues of violence and socio-politics. The photographers also now have a deeper understanding on the stages of conflict, and roots of prejudices.

Hi There, my name is Lindo

Photographer

Growing up in the township of KwaMashu in KwaZulu-Natal and attending primary school in the same town is one of the strongest memories I have about my neighbourhood. The times I spent with my late grandmother Miss Dombi Chiliza and the people I shared my life with at that moment in time in my early childhood, influence the work I create. “I can’t imagine a world without photography – capturing a unique moment in time that will never be repeated” (Gigi Williams).
