Transportation

Many people here walk wherever they want to go. If there is something to transport, it is likely to end up being carried on their heads. I took the picture above, of the lady carrying firewood on her head, the other day as I was waiting for some friends in Manyatseng. I have seen both men and women carrying things on their heads.

Wheelbarrows are also used quit often to transport things. If someone has a wheelbarrow they will push it to town in the morning when they go to work and in the evening they buy the things they need and then push the wheelbarrow back home with their purchases.

A taxi is also a very common means of transport. If people have a few extra Rand they will take a taxi to and from town.
