The grasslands outside the small town of Kwajok, south of SD.
Joe Ga and his team had left the highway and turned onto the grassland about 5 kilometers from the town, led by Karman through a circuitous half-hour route that brought them to the periphery of the town without anyone noticing.
The small towns in southern SD differ from what most people imagine; as one of the world's poorest regions, aside from a slightly commercial street with some brick buildings, the rest are mainly makeshift houses constructed with corrugated iron and asbestos tiles.
A road cuts through the center of the town, that is, through the main commercial street, and behind the street-side buildings are all the simple structures built by the locals.
The most luxurious building in Kwajok is the residence of a local tribal elder located on the southern edge of the town.
This "most luxurious" structure consists of just a few small buildings surrounded by a 3-meter-high wall.
