...store my junk in the ready-to-burst walk through. My personal memorabilia joined theirs on the wall, in this room I now referred to as “our room.” Indeed, Dunster became my adoptive house. House residents largely forgot my status as a squatter. Once my roommate secured me a room key, so did I. Yes, PfoHo tried to win my love back with subtle interventions staged by various individuals, and my parents questioned my sanity (and that of my foster blockmates). But the Dunster community’s magnetism provided too strong...

One neighbor stepped out of his shack to claim that the Mozambicans chased out two days ago had provoked the attacks by planning revenge attacks on South Africans after hearing of the violence in Alexandra. "They want to rule here in South Africa," said the man, who declined to give his name...
