June 1963 - Transkei - The Frightened Land. In this frightened land of the Transkei, some turn to God for help. Here a young nun kneels in prayer to ask for a peaceful solution. The Transkei, on the eve of its birth as South Africa's first Bantustan nation, is a land of frightened men. The 17, 000 Whites are frightened -and bitter. Bitter because in the land of White privilege, they suddenly find the architects of apartheid pulling the mat from under them, the 13, 000 Coloureds are frightened and hopeless. Hopeless because they feel they can expect no more under black rule than they got under White. (Photograph by Drum Photographer @ BAHA)
