My latest addition to the godmachine universe, the city of Igquma (Zulu for termite mound), rises above the immeasurable sprawl of its urban offspring, the streets and alleys separating the randomly constructed housing projects giving it the appearance of a dried-up and cracked riverbed. Rooftops are turned into parks and bazaars for the inhabitants, with walkways and bridges over the street canals for cars below. A container city, many of its kind are strewn across the continent, a reminder of the past Africa rising from poverty and facing the challenges of an increased BNP and booming population.
