The immersion in the universe of the townships is something that leaves its mark and is hardly forgettable. Several times I felt this experience, during my three months sojourn in Cape Town, between October 2015 and January 2016. Each time I felt a deep emotion, something that is rather difficult to explain, and that only partially my pictures can show. The scene of the beer ceremony, which is also the cover of my book, is the one that struck me most and it also made me feel guilty. While reconstructing its memory, supported by the many shoot I took that afternoon, I have been convinced that, quite certainly, the four people in the shack challenged me. But I did not pass the test, and I am ashamed. Connie, who then became our friend, a young woman living in Langa, the oldest township in Cape Town, offered to accompany my wife and me for our first tour in that Dantesque infernal circle. We saw different types of residencies, even those called Beverly Hills, consisting of little single-family houses surrounded by a small garden. We visited mostly condominiums, where up to fifteen people live in a single room, with no kitchen and shared bathrooms. The bathrooms, in most cases, consist of chemical toilets similar to those used in military camps. Air conditioning in summer and heating during winter are totally ignored. We, then, arrived in the townships truest core, that is, the many sheet and wood shacks where still today millions of poor people live, at the margins of the big South African cities, where even the electric power is lacking. In one of these shacks, we assisted at the beer ceremony. We were in a shack bigger than the other ones, entirely made of sheet and wood. It was almost empty except for the bottom, where different objects were gathered, as you can see in the picture and particularly dark, as there was, like in the other ones, a unique passage that functioned both as a door and as a window. On the threshold there was a slumped, rather than crouched, battered stray dog. Inside, we found an old African woman with a typical headpiece who had prepared the beer in the traditional way, in a large container that seemed more suitable for milk than for an alcoholic beverage. I had no idea about the preparation process of the beer, but I immediately realised it concerned something hot rather than cold. There were also three men, seemingly young, but their age was indefinable and penalised by hardship. Two of them were sitting at the side of the shack, like my wife, Daniela, and me. The third one approached the container at the middle of the shack, kneeling and moving in a way that recalled a religious ritual. Actually, it was a ceremony: the old woman was offering the fermented beverage previously prepared. The man stared at her for a long time, keeping the metallic container suspended at mid-height, toward his chest, and then he took a sip of that liquid. Then, suddenly and unexpectedly, he handed it to me for drinking. I was really surprised and my immediate refusal, mumbling something, was a totally spontaneous gesture. Just after a while I realised I was put to the test and I failed. Of course, I never drink from the glasses of the others, but there was something else in that case, besides the risk of an infection such as the hepatitis A, for example. No, I think the roots of my refusal are much more profound, and they have to do with the Occidental tendency to establish just a superficial contact with these terrible realities. I am ashamed of this. This book, which I dedicate to Connie, to the old woman in the shack, to her guests and the millions of South Africans who still live in shantytowns such as Langa, Guguletu or Khayelitsha, is not intended to be nor it can be a reparation for my failed courage, rather it represents a small voice that unites to the already existing chorus of complaints ...
