Mdzananda Animal Clinic

I'm spending several days at the Mzananda Animal Clinic in Khayelitsha, one of the sprawling townships on the Cape Flats, about 20km from Cape Town. I've been setting up a network (read: drilling holes in shipping container walls and stringing long lengths of network cable underneath corrugated iron roofs) and installing vetinary software for them.













There is a permanent clinic (the only one of its kinds for the hundreds of thousands of people in the townships) and a roving clinic for people to bring their sick animals - mostly dogs - to. Mzananda has a group of really friendly staff and a group of just-as-friendly resident dogs and cats. Pictured above: a woman with a sick puppy, Gabriel with 'No Name' and Lazola with a new-born puppy. It was great fun to help out there.
