Sunday Washing

Sundays seem to be the day to do washing and other household chores for many workers in Hermanus, as they work during the rest of the week. I drove past and could not resist this colourful washing line, with the women sitting in the sun and changing a meagre chore into a happy outdoor activity. Like all South African cities and towns, Hermanus also has an informal settlement area. "Zwelihle", which means "Beautiful Place" in Zulu, could just as well have been the Zulu word for "Hermanus".
