“Shot!”

One says: “Shot!” in South Africa to anything particularly well executed. I captured this labourer throwing cement over about three metres / yards, to be caught by another with a palette while balancing on scaffolding. OBSERVATION: A European observer commented: “I am alarmed that your building workers are clearly infringing Health & Safety legislation. They are not wearing hard hats nor high-visibility coats, nor steel toe-caps. They have no protective goggles or work-gloves. There are no Health & Safety warning signs forbidding unauthorised visitors and there are no First Aid points signposted. All scaffolding should have duck-boards to prevent debris falling off and injuring passers by below. Netting is to be used ...” and so on. This is however Africa. In South Africa, in fact, widely divergent regulations apply, depending on the municipality in which one lives. You may click on the photo to enlarge to VGA.
