Her photograph, Two Buses and 1 000 People, was nominated as one of the best in the competition.
Nyamwanza’s photograph will be part of 14 others from Africa.
Other photographers whose pictures were nominated are from South Africa, Democratic Republic of Congo, Kenya, Tunisia, Nigeria and Cameroon.
Nyamwanza said she was happy to have her work nominated.

“There were so many people who needed transport, but could not get it.
“When I arrived there, I found out that there were only two buses and hundreds of people who needed transport.
