Musina is the northernmost town in South Africa, on the Limpopo River at the border with Zimbabwe. Once known as Messina, in 2002 its name was changed to correct the colonial misspelling of the Musina people who lived there before. Pieter Hugo photographs a place of passage and change, a situation that broadly reflects the circumstances of any community facing transformation.
