Sebokeng, Gauteng – Cold November day and Toto Street is going to mud. A Seventh Day Baptist Church at the east end of the one kilometre street, a T-junction at the west. Township houses, some with brick walls, others with wire fences. General dealer at an intersection where rocks threaten tyres and rain dilutes sewage. A block north, Kgokare Secondary. The school’s concrete slat fence is topped with broken razor wire.
