KARRETJIE (2014)

In the early 1990s more than a thousand karretjiemense eked out a living as nomadic sheep shearers trekking across the Great Karoo. That way of life is now lost because their artisanal skills, in the face of mechanisation, are not needed. But the karretjie people, who have always lived on the margins, remain and survive on the veld, odd jobs and social grants.
This is a family who lives 50kms away from the nearest town, living between a national road and a farmer's boundary fence.
