Photograph of the suburb of Diepkloof, Soweto, filled with smog from coal fires. Baragwanath Hospital (Chris Hani Baragwanath Hospital) is situated opposite Diepkloof, on Chris Hani Road (previously known as Old Potch Road), Soweto. This photograph was taken in the early 1980s before Soweto had electrification. The township and hospital were filled with smog, particularly in the winter months.
