edolobeni

Saturday morning "in town"

Catch the "Shining Star"

The "Shining Star" bus makes it up the hill once more, on its way into town.

Roadworks

A continual battle against potholes during the summer.

Portable Roof?

A woman carrying corrugated iron sheets for roofing, Mbabane bus station. The roofing sheets will be tied onto the roof of the bus she catches.

"Six Emalangeni Shop"

It just doesn't roll off the tongue the same way as "Everything for a dollar!"

Shopping and Socialising

An opportunity to catch up on the latest gossip with friends.

"Have Fun In The Sun"

Mbabane bus rank is a mix of activity and patience, with a range of vendors selling fast foods, drinks or ice cream.

On the move, or catching your breath

Time for an ice cream while waiting for the bus.
