that says you're not good enough you know going to make it in this profession i've tried to ignore it she ignored that voice but it's a very voice that i've pushed me. to do better every day to push myself to do better everything. was. sort. of on the move yet next. i want to photograph from there. so you're going to bring. what. i like to don't change from. a little bit to the very day ahead. my parents used to buy newspapers and all the stories that were of of black people in the newspapers there were all negative pictures of extreme poverty all black people fighting just

everything negative my dream was to be an advertising photographer i did pieces of beautiful things that people really good about themselves dressed well. but it was a picture that the budget redo didn't want to show to the world. this is they wanted to paint black people as a bird's. eye was that in two years old i've just been thrown out of what a school for being a black woman crossing a career which was in as inappropriate. and that now having to wear a badge of that. they're taking pictures of news events covering. out their horrors of.

i was just so sick of butter graffitti oh those negative things. but in the end ninety's something new was happening in south africa. with lot of energy and exploded with a lot of friends and this is on to the streets we wanted to be to express to create davis years against us and we weigh the budget didn't listen so i took photographs of what was happening around me. i was always with this people reply big mouth to just sold what this college had produced. by camera because they could see that i was also sleeping whatever their within that.

the people in those photographs are now the stars of today. some had served time i've also struggled to make ends meet but today they want the records in south africa. their records go putting. in their faces until. now is one of the people that has kept a from from abi giving speeches to do you know what it meant when he wants book buying an old book brave and then he would slice it up and have more importance on whom. doesn't get around to remembering back home most of the money. now almost two decades of this of africa became free and. i want to revisit those photographs and see how far we've come as a nation and understand my own doing. if

frank when they won i he's a good friend of mine read to many years ago when he was still trying to find our identity and then you saw africa. then he was still a spy ring you know to greatness if you're going to be white gypsum cotton and then with a cop thought thank you they don't want to. give that. kind of. close as if it just. showed. oh. i'm. oh. hey this is the expressing our love for creating clothes and. being in this wondrous new model yeah it is

a new study despite a lot of work. i've actually paid to do a whole outfit like a spray paint is very like the spray and be very vocal i believe of the reds. we are the generation that changed south africa young and the genetic. bunnies and gals coming up and taking over where we are all together all of us all that gang that is why i've lived a lot of my work and i've decided like it to just be great just visit all the people that i photographed then so the brand my people my generation yeah yeah. wow . you went in to be seen to be going to this person and to be propositioned and wanted to work for you and you wanted to get that moment far and then here we are

today i can i am timing one of the best. b.m.w. a six foot five. yet. to be in the u.k. you're below zero yax is no one is forcing me to do all that the last of that we wanted to do. give the week whereby all production didn't realize this is no want this we get about video houses and throwing stones but this culture is so over that it's all about moving forward and living in the hood that we want to embrace everybody. and we all have the same there's fuck all like sort of suppressed yeah and then when that lead just came off and went all of us we just went same time same time you know on black people old kind of the thing that we can achieve peace in so soon couldn't of time.

we trim it too much people would think it would turn about is just a dream. i. was. going home going to the history of the late i come here for inspiration and i'll never spent any big project without giving him. my dad passed away when i was. ten my mother passed away two thousand. years and made me. trade it in my success in terms of the target. of my career. i know this is going to be like an empty house my bedroom is the. butt of a fake that spinning and i took my mother's house it's an art.

they did when i was small the sleeping and have to be woken out they'll get noise and banging on the door and all those things the cops used to demand that life has bridges they i. my dad the world behave like a kid for an intruder to come and not very him as a person it used to exist to help me and so those are the present that i respect or the president tells me that i just stand up for myself but yet when he's gone fronted with a you leg with the militia and he becomes vulnerable you question yourself like is it what that respect.

i could have stood out the you know and just said no. i am sick over here we are sick of it sick of being portrayed like. a bird we don't we don't we don't like we let class it was just thrown in from us. and i think that's what you feel blessed enough to live there which you need to give them a show of respect says with niggers are those things billet. has never had the opportunity to. to summarize my curry in the last ten years say there's never been a summer in fact me live in years there's never been a summer without a disease you hit.

one of those very unique human stories that we've never had no kind of produced done songs before. just the way some afraid to solve some of printing our struggles glorify poverty and was thus all people in the mold. it's most of the sun in our lungs so people can relate. it was fresh and because no post-independence we could celebrate now we had reason to celebrate so guys consume a. lot of a because you know in our minds we were free. i didn't know you. just knew the good people what. is there all is want to

solve the day that he said that you know that address of the old even leave that to the bannister now you know you know better. than the general this is. because you've got nothing to prove now we're going to the heads. together of studios for me it was a pivotal moment in my career to. get to record some of my works yeah. unfortunately musicals coming in this country like music in the music that's my music was just managed to put the boundaries and overlaps into the white culture and some of my musical as well and i have

a huge wild following which i don't know where they come from. dance music is universal you know it doesn't matter what language they gondry is has changed quite a lot since twenty years ago when i started photography in my class i was the only black student somebody would just look at me funny and just get pissed of just by looking at me they can sit with me in the lecture hall they all will choose to go and beg. because there are only black people that the way exposed to weather like they are maids or they are gardeners at home and then they have my son generation these are the fortune they didn't have to go through what i had to go through which goes back to quentin.

already. going to go christmas really. think. you'll forgive me for my sins i know what the devil son i put me down but i never ever see. again the game shows the state never change still the same all the first things first i love my city it's all that and wait until they see me recognize this in a way he's living my dream i never bridge ritter's i was told to quit my studies. they said to me you have to leave you have to quit this is not the right course for black girls. i feel like i really need to heal. because i'm still hating the last days because i used to go with me when.

we're told that whatever that had to be the posed so it remained for us to move and as a nation when into not created into any negative stuff that happened in mandela i can forgive the people who put him in prison for twenty seven years who are you not to leave everything in the past and focus on forgiveness which is not really say i don't know with my child in a ration but my generation is still going to linger in our minds for as long as we need at this point. best already me. best performer in t.v. . best performance. best engineers this one is very interesting.

i don't believe it'll wear them like. it. did. not. rather than. with my dress. since last year november i think i've been making a check kind of like every day do sometimes two or three you know and say yeah i pretty much make all the time and i. only really want to make it perfect this time especially because i have the opportunity to do it. to want to prove something you know i guess to one of them i don't know that there was even in your forty's i have more i have more to offer this more to me than you

know how to say i haven't done nothing prevents yeah i feel like i haven't really done nothing being black being female it's not really about about it i don't value it as much as a value what i'm creating now you know for me it wasn't even like you know like they are part of whatever whatever just but it was also like where you come from where you grow up you're like you know he's not going to amount to nothing you know so you're always trying to prove you're so. he just so love hungry debt. you know. we probably feel like they're going to die.

right. now but. all of them the good the potential makes known to all of them when they neglect the good governor. five. things you didn't do when i was a the same as it was a b. that makes brand a fussy. you had to be the next been the fuss. but i've never done one of those. you want to be. in i want to be a chemical engineer when i what good we're going to do and what kind of engineer

you want to. find i want to be a pilot or wow and then when i was a very mess chemical engineer pilots a mess and you. want to be a teacher. maybe my son's generation is that good dinners and they will be able to make sensible decisions. fairly i think breakfast. yes. like an event with many cooks because. they're surprised by it's good today. it's the best meal. on the motives and. you have a mother like me. it was always on the go. and no choice but to just accept that

this is your life. all the time when i was like my first day of school my mum was a day with mean anything to school and actually like. tomorrow. just. it was more like i was in boarding so i was put there the day before. i had to man up i exposed to a lot of things sometimes i used to feel guilty i still do every parent like to see their kid they would want to be a part of they have kids face the school there's the one thing that for many years i've been looking forward to and when it happened i couldn't be there. there's a lot easier starting on something different i don't know how many doesn't and people would like so really so if we can help you only because they have never seen anybody i had no reference i would have had to do what i had to do that i wish it

could have been for the support that he gave me you know you were there for me throughout. always know. even though i never really knew what it was but i couldn't fake cheat or anything else and. that's interesting. because. i spoke positive things from him that doesn't come with a big news. industry in quite the same age mostly a show the way people describe the life they once lived but she going through what they talk about in the song. it's not that i'm not alive it's not the same sometimes i get lost just a little bit thinking that the put it different chick no hello baby girl you don't

how you read music is like reliving what i'm going true and real to what i'm going through at the same time. i want to see ghosts of my shows that's why i'm always working on. a room and i had my first mistake i mentioned all the things they say to go trolling highs. are the same things i used to do with my friends at school. just being straight to the point on this. night so my. body. it's amazing. something fresh to night so i guess i'll be in charge got to mention that it's just like. i never thought all parts needed anything i was born in the news that after koli delicious. and there was a lot of freedom we all grew up in a few well i never got to experience all the trauma that have held ahead to

tragedy and everything. i wouldn't say i had a problem putting up. you have the freedom to express yourself. this is the one thing that my parents were deprived or. with are generous and it was it was better it was different we listed as a weapon. certain people might not have the same benefits as i both but they are free to express themselves. and they're free to open up. out of me exposed to them if you go and have served as president what further would be striving for.

i'm not as anybody used to be after lead to acceptance for what they are. initially yes i was beat i would just come out of our date and i just thought a log was stolen from. i just don't want my son to herrick that. my interest in photography goes back to. mr presentation. of the black people that i've managed to make decisions ted says that will not only better for myself but will benefit my son's future as well. as. an underground fire has been burning for over a century beneath india's largest coal field. now open cost mining has put the flames to the surface would devastating consequences for the local population. as
