A child walks to school on June 11, 2013 in Qunu, a village outside the town of Mthatha in the Eastern Cape, where former South African President Nelson Mandela grew up. Ordinarily Qunu is a slow-paced blend of livestock, locals on foot and the occasional car winding along the smattering of roads and dirt paths that link humble homesteads. But with Mandela again in hospital, his beloved village has become a magnet for the world's media, hoping to offer some insight into his life. AFP PHOTO / JENNIFER BRUCE
