Welkom Today

Revisiting South Africa


  • Kehrer
  • by Ad van Denderen, Margalith Kleijwegt, Lebohang Tlali
In the early 1990s Dutch photographer Ad van Denderen travelled to Welkom, a small mining town in South-Africa, to document the last days of apartheid. 25 years later his critically acclaimed photo book Welkom in Suid-Afrika was discovered by Lebohang Tlali (then a young art student in Cape Town), who grew up in Welkom's neighbouring township Thabong. The book served as an eye opener: for the first time Tlali saw how the white community lived during apartheid.
