hotos: Johannesburg meets Sujimoto

Article by Sujimoto...

Gossip, good or bad, is the first unsolicited tourist information you encounter before arriving at your destination.  Before embarking on my trip to “Joburg”, I had an earful of good stories of this amazing city, its contemporary lifestyle, beauty and people; above all, I was warned about the silent prejudice towards MALE immigrants; especially Nigerians.  After a 6 hour flight, I arrived early in the morning to O.R Tambo International Airport Johannesburg. I got on the immigration line and as I stood there wishing and waiting to be called by the pretty immigration lady who I could charm and make my way into the wonderful city as quick as possible, Uff… a thick voice calls me, “Sharp my man, passport please”. Feeling disappointed, I feigned a smile.
