Polish poetry comes to South Africa, and it's used to protest the horrors of xenophobia.

A wall in Johannesburg (below) quotes a line from the poem "Report From a Besieged City" by Polish poet Zbigniew Herbert.

"a rat became the unit of currency" describes the grim realities of a city under siege, highlighting how abstract concepts like money and wealth lose all meaning when society collapses and people are just struggling to survive.

May the scoundrels pitting the working class of South Africa against each other one day soon rot in hell.
