Driving back from Mozambique

The drive back home to Johannesburg from Mozambique was, as always, interesting. There seems to be a constant flow of people walking from one place to the other, maybe because public transportation is not widely available and cars are expensive.
 

The main roads in South Africa are mostly in good condition so we didn't have to drive zigzag to avoid potholes this time. But we had to be aware of animals all the time; cows, goats and donkeys were hanging out beside the road and decided once in a while to change sides regardless of cars approaching.

We passed local villages and houses quite different from the ones we are used to. Many of them are still without water or electricity. Now that elections are coming up in May, this is one of the complaints to the ruling party.
