Snapshots from Southern Africa

As part of my Bachelor degree in Development Studies I did a fieldwork in Zambia. It was a group assignment about the concequences of the privatization of the Zambian Copper Industry. We also got to travel quite a bit around Southern Africa. What follows are a few snapshots from Zambia, Mozambique and South Africa.

The first picture is taken by Per Arne Juvang right before entering one of Zambias biggest copper mines, Konkola Copper Mine in Chnigola. The white guyes in the clean coveralls are me, Solveig and Heddy.
