Diepsloot – Anton Harber (Jonathan Ball, 2011)
Diepsloot – Anton Harber (Jonathan Ball, 2011) Harber has captured the "seething settlement" that is Diepsloot in a very readable and accessible 231 pages. He gets under the skin of the sprawling township of some 200 000 people, by talking to people on the street, drinking with them in their taverns, attending their meetings, and joining a night time patrol with Community Policing Forum members and the police. He learns that Diepslooters are working out solutions to their problems, irrespective of the politicians' efforts. Harber says that since writing the book his outlook has changed – he appreciates better the challenges facing the country regarding informal settlements. Read the book - your outlook is bound to change too.
