Playground
The town of Sasolburg was built in the 1950’s by Sasol Ltd, the world’s first oil-from-coal plant. The residential areas are connected by a continuous system of landscaped green strips broadening into children’s playgrounds' bays. The maintenance of green strips and parks deteriorated rapidly since the mid 1990’s, eventually resulting in unsafe areas to walk and play. Abandoned playgrounds took on an eery apocalyptical appearance of untimely abandonment.
