A heavy load

posted by Paul
I can't imagine riding on top of such a precariously-stacked load can be much of a party, but for these guys it's just part of the job.

I'm not sure that it's legal to ride on the back of a truck like this, and it certainly isn't safe, but unfortunately it's common practice in South Africa to transport workers in this way.

Oh this was one of the things we noticed while in SA, one of the things that made it very obvious it wasn't Sweden, at all, the homecountry of overprotection and safety above all... In this case I do very much prefer safety above all though...
