My work is only inspired by local scenes from Soweto, South Africa, which has a rich history of migrant labour. I use a lot of colour because I believe colour is like a spice of life.

Election time is near. Politicians will be canvassing in dirty, sewer infested streets of ghetto camps.

The ruling party has made poverty it's meal ticket, using relief grants, food parcels to bait the clueless voting fodder.

Rampant HIV infested teenage pregnancy, cheap drug abuse, casual to normal petty hardcore crimes range from electricity theft but robbery, rape & murder are daily activities. Faster than hijacking & bolder than cash heist, it's the urban ghetto jungle where every man for himself. Poverty for us all.
