David Goldblatt’s series "The Transported of KwaNdebele" illustrates the daily commutes of Black South African workers to jobs in major urban centers, journeys that could take up to eight hours. This photo from the series shows passengers falling asleep on the early morning bus from Marabastad to Waterval.
