Outside, it was rainy, weather, you didn’t want to be out in. Inside this little bar was a different story. The place was packed, the drinks flowing. A guy tapped me on the shoulder asking if they could use my phone. Pointing to the front door I said there’s a payphone right there. Looking confused, I said, come on, I’ll show you how to use it.

The old telephone boxes exist only in the out-of-way villages now. Then, as you near them, you realise they host a community libriary. Bring a book, take a book. And vartious weeds take root.

Pay phones are a thing of the past in South Africa, Susan. Everyone has cell phones even the beggars.
