September 1956 - Four-thousand contented Africans live

September 1956 - Four-thousand contented Africans live in George Goch, Johannesburg. The little place snugs peacefully within a six-foot high iron fence. But one hundred yard from the main entrance, live seven lean, forgotten men, all of the brotherhood of bottle and bag collectors. Bottlebag Township is nobobody's baby. The men lived for seven, eight and 12 years there, and they say, We ve never been bothered. They never paid rent. (Photograph by Drum Photographer @ BAHA)
