David GoldblattThe Thinking Stone, 32 tons of granite sculpted by Willem Boshoff. One of a number of artworks commissioned by the university after some Afrikaner male students were alleged to have urinated into the food of some Black workers. This "sculpture on the campus" project was undertaken in the hope that it would "promote greater respect for cultural differences and would instill a sense of belonging in staff and students." University of the Free State, Bloemfontein, 14 March 2013

David GoldblattPedestrian bridge over the Cape Town–Johannesburg railway line in the village of Leeu Gamka (population about 2,000). Apartheid law required that all public amenities had to be racially segregated. Accordingly, from about 1966, the people of Leeu Gamka crossed this bridge in two streams—"White" and "Non White." Since 1992 the Apartheid laws and notice boards have gone but the steel divider remains. 20 August 2016

David GoldblattIncomplete houses, part of a stalled municipal development of 1,000 houses. The funding allocation was made in 1998, building started in 2003.

By August 2006, 420 houses had been completed. Lady Grey, Eastern Cape, 5 August 2006

David GoldblattThe founders of Buffelsjagbaai, a small village on the Southern Cape Atlantic coast, Johannes and Sophia Swam, came there in the 1920s. Shipwrecks and driftwood provided planks from which they built a house and a boat. Scarcity of water was a problem and there were few roads. But in time the community grew. The women would walk to surrounding villages to sell fish, which they carried on poles, and to buy provisions. Between March and May, when the geelbek were running, people would come on donkey carts to buy their catches. Under Apartheid the community lacked permanent rights of residence. Today they have electricity, water, and security of tenure. They harvest kelp but the fish and the perlemoen (abalone) on which they depend are in decline. 5 October 2005
