Favourite City in Africa

Johannesburg is the city that feels like home, but I love to let my hair down in Cape Town.

Dish you most enjoy cooking/eating

It has to be milk tart.

Freedom smells like…

Being able to walk freely on the streets without worrying for my life, having the means to travel, eat deliciously, and pursue work I enjoy doing.If I could create anything with my hands, it would be…

I am currently learning embroidery, and can’t wait until I can embroider complex and beautiful patterns for art to hang in my next home. 

A Joyful Noise for Mandla Lishivha is?

Welcome at CURIOCITY Cape Town’s Tuesday Sip & Sculpt Evening.

I love the sound of chirping birds combined with the music of the rustling of trees and a flowing stream nearby. The most soothing sound for me is the constant sound of water splashing on a fountain or waterfall. I even search for it as a track on YouTube.
