Endless energy pours through the streets of Durban’s Central Business District. It is the quintessential African city – vibrant, chaotic, eclectic and packed with stories new and old: Architectural designs of colonial structures, the renaissance of City Hall, HOMii buildings that house the city’s students, and pop-up shops as well as businesses belonging to foreign nationals, citizens, hustlers, and innovators alike. These buildings are only backdrops in Wandile Msomi’s photographs. The stars of the images are the people who make the city. They are presented as close-up portraits, fleeting silhouettes and street-photographer inspired frames.
