David Goldblatt, Pondo mine workers in their hostel.

Carletonville, South Africa, 1970.

“Permission had been given me by the head office to take photographs in the hostel. Without consulting me, the hostel manager sent out an instruction that men of each tribal group were to present themselves to me in tribal dress. I had no desire to do ethnographic ‘studies,’ and was preparing to withdraw. But then I saw the men, and they took the occasion very seriously, and with great dignity. And so I photographed several groups.”—David Goldblatt.
