Leaving behind our urban constructs to participate in this year's Afrikaburns "Invent", http://www.afrikaburns.com/ held in the Tankwa Karoo National Park, to live in a tent without access to any urban conveniences whatsoever, calls to mind a way of life at once ancient and tribal and also discomfortingly contemporary - a reminder of the millions in our midst without any of the benefits of the urban comforts many take for granted.
