In Jabulani Dhlamini’s series “uMama,” the artist explores the challenges that single mothers face in South African townships. Dhlamini’s intimate portraits of these women and their sons examine black masculinity and the roles women are expected to play in contemporary South African society. #diversityinphoto From mapping new networks, to challenging the colonial past, Aperture's summer 2017 issue looks at the dynamic platforms that are shaping photography in Africa today. “Platform Africa” will be on newsstands beginning June 6, 2017. .
