Poor housing, limited to no resources, colonial laws stacked against them, settlers stealing & profiting off all their natural resources. The kids I met at the refugee camp reminded me of rez kids so much I felt at home

Siblings, some of my work is freely available online. This is deliberate. Access is everything to me, it’s part of my activism. But if you’re going to screen my work and invite the public 1. Get the necessary permissions. 2. Tell the filmmaker. Me. Ok? Not asking for too much

South Africans are now subjected to rolling power blackouts AND "water shifting". This is what happens when politicians are more interested in self-enrichment than doing their jobs. mybroadband.co.za/news/energ…
