Self-taught barber Thabang Moshoke created his own job when he could not find work in South Africa, whose unemployment rate is one of the highest in the world AFP In a corner of his mother's backyard, 30-year-old Thabang Moshoke runs a clipper through a client's hair at a makeshift barbershop that has only a rough roof to shield it from the skies.
