Nomzamo, South Africa
Nomzamo is a settlement in South Africa that’s a few miles outside of Cape Town. It was originally created as a way to house single male workers during the apartheid years in South Africa. They served as hostels before the official housing structures were built. Though this area is one suburb, there are various types of houses—including government funded housing and shack dwelling. A fence separates the wealthier houses from these shack dwellings, where houses still exist in this “middle space.”
