These photos were taken in a part of South Africa known as Walmer Location in Port Elizabeth. The place is a side effect of the implementation of apartheid in the 1960s, when areas like this were established to separate people into groups of similar skin tone. Walmer narrowly avoided being demolished and all its residents re-housed in the 1980s but the ongoing neglect has left a general vibe of it being a really shitty place to live, which isn’t helped by its position directly next to an airport and a rubbish dump. Eddie Groenewald is a South African photographer who recently visited Walmer to shoot the styles on the street.
