SCRIPT - They can also be bound, but a quest for righteousness can never be repressed. In time, we broke open the shackles of injustice, we joined hands across social divides and national boundaries, between continents and over oceans. #mandela #art #artist #artwork @OOCapetown

UNITY - South Africa is a country of diverse cultures. Sport has been a unifying factor – to the point where national teams have been given pet names, embraced by all – whether they be Bafana Bafana, Amabokkebokke or Amakrokokroko. #unity @OOCapetown @VandAWaterfront

FREEDOM from dompas! Dompas was one of the pillars of Apartheid. It became the single most powerful tool used to curtail the movements of Blacks in South Africa #freedom #art #artwork #artist #mandela @OOCapetown @VandAWaterfront

IMPROSONMENT is represented by leaders of the liberation Struggle. Imprisonment of their great minds became the beginning of their physical confinement. It is the dynamism of these minds and unwavering determination that was able to break the prison walls at the dawn of democracy

STRUGGLE - 10yrs into democracy, I see a new struggle – one facing rural women and children. We achieved political freedom. The struggle is still on for economic freedom, especially in rural areas, where women & children are still victims of under-development and poverty.

We had a great turnout at this past ART THURSDAY. Thank you to everyone who came out to visit us, enjoyed a glass of ⁦@Deetlefs_Wine⁩ and appreciated the unique, handmade jewellery pieces by the talented Legacy Collection. #art #artists #artwork facebook.com/22862762049592…

SCRIPT. “These sketches are not so much about my life as they are about my own country. I drew hands because they are powerful instruments, hands can hurt or heal, punish or uplift. #mandela #art #sketch #blackandwhite #artwork #gallery #exhibition #artist

FUTURE. Nelson #Mandela quoted, “A bright future beckons. Th onus is on us, through hard work, honesty and integrity, to reach for the stars.” #sketch #blackandwhite #future #art #future #artwork #gallery #exhibition #quote @OOCapetown

UNITY. In an extract from Nelson Mandela’s famous book, Long Walk to Freedom, he said “If I preached unity, I must act like a unifier, even at the risk of perhaps alienating some of my own colleagues.” #gallery #exhibition @OOCapetown @VandAWaterfront

FREEDOM. “As I walked out the door toward the gate that would lead to my #freedom, I knew if I didn’t leave my bitterness and hatred behind, I’d still be in prison.” ~ Nelson Mandela #sketch #blackandwhite #art #gallery #exhibition #artist @OOCapetown @VandAWaterfront

IMPRISONMENT. “When a man is denied the right to live the life he believes in, he has no choice but to become an outlaw.” ~ #Mandela #sketch #blackandwhite #art #artwork #quote #artist #gallery #exhibition @OOCapetown @VandAWaterfront

STRUGGLE. Nelson Mandela said “It is time for the next generations to continue our struggle against social injustice and for the rights of humanity. It is in your hands.” #sketch #blackandwhite #Art #gallery #exhibition #Mandela @OOCapetown @VandAWaterfront
