Seeds, A Township Monologue‪.‬

Born in 1990 c.a, my view of the township is that of the awkwardly monikered “post-apartheid” as noted by Hlonipa Mokoena in Mohau Modisakeng’s foreword of his self-titled book, “the Born-Free’s is another moniker that still seems to fit less aptly” he adds. The world, Africa, and subsequently South Africa, continues to mould itself into a new renaissance with this generation continuing to question and form its own narrative on identity, gender, race, culture, tradition, art, religion, spirituality, freedom, decolonisation, free education, land reform, travel and immigration, and other post-apartheid narratives.



Tembisa on its 60th Anniversary, therefore becomes my focal point, were the camera serves as a time machine on a journey of rediscovery, inviting the viewer into both retro and introspective journeys of childhood encounters with the township streets, friends, family, space and landscape as I relive my early childhood and teenage years in Tembisa.
