3:30 a.m. Going to work: The interior of this bus is dimly lit by a small green bulb at one end of the aisle and a small red one at the other. But once it reaches the highway, the headlights of the stream of buses and taxis taking workers to Pretoria are an almost continuous glare through the rear window, from the series "The Transported of KwaNdebele"
