Five letters from five South African writers exploring aspects of life in the week of the ANC elections - covering education, bureaucracy, city living, xenophobia and migration. These novelists and journalists reflect on living in South Africa now. Bongani explores what it feels like to be a young black man in Cape Town, addressing problems in the way the city has been divided geographically by race and gentrification and imagining a cosmopolitan 'dream city' in its place.

His writing has also appeared in Mail & Guardian, Rolling Stone (South Africa), Sunday Times and other publications and websites.
