A Concert at the Central Methodist Church

On Saturday night the doors of the Central Methodist Church, an informal refugee camp housing an estimated 5000 Zimbabwean refugees in downtown Johannesburg, opened for a few of the city’s brightest musical and spoken word acts.

  • Hi Austin,

    I thought I was commenting to Arthur Petrie when I wrote yesterday about the concert.

    But your photography is beautiful. You did a great job with the natural light!

    (You can forward my earlier message to Arthur if it is easy for you!)

    Thanks,

    Jackie
