A worker climbs between two sugar cane haulers.
This week I had the pleasure of touring the Rhodes sugar cane farm on KwaZulu-Natal's South Coast. The owner, Craig Rhodes, and his father Chris were kind enough to let me have the run of the place for two days. It's a large operation, with over 300 workers, mostly Xhosa speaking Pondo's from the Eastern Cape, and stretches for more than 25 km's across the rolling hills.

Great to see my uncle + cousin's farm through your eyes - beautiful photographs. Louise Rhodes, Sydney, Australia
