SPACE

I grew up sharing a bedroom with my 2 younger sisters,to me this was normal we had our space,but as i grew up i found myself needing more space and privacy so i moved to the city.In the city especially in my hood Yeoville the concept of space is quite interesting people rent a room in a flat and then others would rent space in that room,so privacy seems to be the least of their concern,because all they're after is their piece of space they could call "my place".All the people i photographed in this series lives around the Bellevue area they all share their space with others ,but one thing they do is own that little space they rent and call my place.

I MISS AND LOVE

Sitting back in my subconscious space Frank popped in my heart and i realised how sad our industry is we loose the most talented players who ought to be teachers to greener pastures ,for those who have no clue what I am talking about Frank Papa Tia and Ditoro bass player for Kwani the most famous unknown band in S.A. i miss him wish he was around to clown around and inspire those around him ,I miss our Heart to heart talk I miss to hear you dream aloud,the picture of him was taken at the bassline in June after the FIFA opening concert in Orlando Stadium.

The other cutie pie is Boitumelo,Rudo Amani(Love ,Peace,Happiness)our daughter who is gone on Holiday with Granny and her Aunties,appreciate the break but damn i miss her cute ears and her Many questions but i miss her hugs to oh and her singing the house feels empty without u sweets

MORE MUSIC CLASSES FOR OUR KIDS

I CAME ACROSS MELODI MUSIC THROUGH FRIENDS OF MINE FROM EUROPE WHO CAME TO TEACH MUSIC TO CHILDREN IN SOWETO,SOWETO BEING MY BIRTH TOWNSHIP I WAS MORE THAT GLAD TO TAG ALONG AND CREATE PHOTOGRAPHS WHILE BEING INSPIRED BY SOME FREE LIVE MUSIC.I GOT TO KNOW THESE KIDS AND THE MELODI MUSIC TRUST,AS IT WAS EMPOWERING YOUNG KIDS WITH THE SKILL TO READ WRITE AND PLAY MUSIC,IT HAS BEEN PROVED THAT CHILDREN WHO READ,WRITE,AND PLAY MUSIC DO BETTER IN THEIR ACADEMIC WORK.SOUTH AFRICAN CHILDREN THROUGH OUT THE TOWNSHIPS OF S.A NEED TO BENEFIT FROM SUCH PROJECTS AS TO FREE THEM FROM THE CYCLE OF TEENAGE PREGNANCY,CRIME AND POVERTY.

Up high

Second day of the amazing race we woke up and had to be out by 5-15am most if not all of us were hung but managed we were by the air ballon area by 6 we were late as our drivers did not know the way and had no GPS ,by the way GPS ROCKS.We were taken up by captain bill funniest old timer who explained the procedure of taking off and landing ,up we went the feeling was too spiritual i felt really blessed to be up there with such cool people.this was also our last day on the amazing race this was topped up by the final leg of the race taking us to the Bhuddist temple in the krugersdorp for a little humbling and meditating that came in handy .

Up up high we went

Malikiyiki

So the first night of our journey we settled in Marupeng,it was also the last place were our celebrity contestants were to find clues.Malik and Thato came in last then they came walking in with a lame but serious excuse that Malik fell ill and had to be taken to hospital,I was like whatever look at him here playing the guitar and having a merry night with all of us,so the race was fun .

so these are some of the participants the humble Uyanda was let down by her partner who was scared of water which put Uyanda last place,Selaelo Selota was seen celebrating his teams first win yo slae is too competetive man he wants to be the winner guess that explains why he always releases great albums
