People of Durban: Cornelius

Zoom

31 July 2009

Cornelius is a long haul trucker. He had recently returned from Namibia to Durban and had achieved this in a two day period, which is absurd.

In Europe, truck drivers have strict restrictions on the amount of time they can spend behind the wheel, South Africa has no restrictions, so his only command from his boss is to get the load delivered and back as quickly as possible.

He washes his clothes on the street, sleeps and cooks on the street and works on the street.
