Before sunrise in the villages of Toboyi-Komkhulu, Merelis and Kunene in the Eastern Cape, women and girls head for a long walk – through hills and valleys, carrying buckets on their heads or in their hands. They pass goats and sheep drinking the same murky water they will later use to bathe and cook. For many residents of these villages, this daily ritual is a test of endurance, necessary for survival.
