Hlumani community garden, Khayelitsha
Hlumani community garden in Khayelitsha is the oldest example of a successful, community-owned food garden in Cape Town's townships. Here, Jayfsh Mshweshwe (left) and Alfred Ngcizela (right), two of Hlumani's 44 members, survey their crops. The garden has begun to recover from a dry period lasting many months due to a broken water system. Many of the growing vegetables died before the system could be fixed.
