it just depends on the shirts. who would companies in the fight some way a team i'd consider myself a little bit of the troublemaker. i run all things. social media growing up was a little bit like a circus. i always needed to develop myself as an individual, as a creative, to be able to stand out and just stand alone outside of the families that are stand with the family as peers. no one knows your friends and your weakness more than you . and we feed fast sometimes when you put a located in a one room ideas class, you have to somehow be in business for interactive being ok. this is my brother for my co worker as well. so you have to manage i didn't know i was an artist, but when my dad passed the way in a car accident live in kid family, what single mom i was in grade 9, but it's quite a shock because being in this country,

how do we survive so my soften teen i started doing what my dad was doing. mostly he's a lot of like, epic and i me and my brother had to shuffle off and carry on with the business. like 11 years later on i got into 5000 systems to manage of as. ready thought to. ready design of a brand to starting the brand on my family, so it's been a journey. so the name for the more you use a slightly phrase mean followed the hot. anything that we find interesting, we put our to it. we outside got a lot of den and we work with like vintage jacket and we just give him a new light. i'll pick up a whole furniture and do odd pieces on it. we also work with like old manny, can we turn him into beautiful land? i'm actually going to pick up one the right now you guys should come with me. i believe they should be less cause in the world. i was fortunate enough to start a cycling group with the collect friends. we call it the most inclusive cycling

group. in the country is good for the environment or we encourage more people to get bike i think kept on has a lot of paternity. i like the pace of it. i like the see the mountain view. you feel like you in europe and also you feel like you're in africa to have the balance is really good. hey, man, i can who will probably have to cut the photo. and we probably have to trim the side. and then we do a hand line work on top of the i'm very much south african, but like my, my heart is congolese. those things coming together is to fight them way of story

creating this blend of our pause. being the d. c. our present being south africa and the future being when we take it to the world. we believe it's time for africa to step up and present our talent to the rates of the world. and remind every african creative, outdated, believe in the crop to be living. the dream, and that's why we want to really then quite them. and i used to be tell people where i live, where we having tonight, we just calling people to come paint with us. you get the get a canvas less paint and we just going to be damming. whose ah, such beautiful and timeless pieces. i literally myself and this beautiful fees for

the eyes and living allotted imperial actually was eric who found it. beautiful. now eric, the name and living ought to him for you is addressing something of really high importance. i may use use the different for all living. we still on the earth and trying to make it ourselves in a way or industry that's a bit difficult to enter into. we call it the source of the or it's a combination of author studios and you also have the calorie component. so all the ot with that you see is basically being created at the studios upstairs. we always taking the approach for the collective, the collective is much better than being trying to do these things by itself. so authors do get a lot of influences from our office, but also get some, some support, and also ideas. they can bounce ideas of other people and we can also critique to work your slogan. breaking the rules of art is quite a bold one. what does it mean and can you tell me a bit more about it?

the slogan was initially finished, it also fought, and then we're going to break it just to be a but table. but i think more establish, set up think you can do it like this and we started, we're going to do it like this. and that's the beauty of thought. yes, definitely. there's no those of all we see some of the artists. yeah. it sound for us to check out how malawi is shaking out the agricultural space, wrinkled and addressed them with my him feet oil. oh, young mallow, he has been exporting tobacco since 1893. it was the 1st exported crop in was a very near british colony,

but with the tightening regulations around smoking and the use of tobacco products ward, white smoking is losing its mass appeal. which means that countries like milan, we need to find an alternative that can bring in the much needed foreign revenue when the crop or gateway drug for take it. him has been maligned and misunderstood, but what the bomb minis, cousin, medical cannabis and the easing on legislation around is production in an increasing number of african countries. is him finally getting the recognition it deserves. it's find out hamper is quite an interesting crop on the we are very pleased to be associated with a crop that's his full of future sustainability. because we see it as a source of food source of beaver. it is

a source of building materials and also to the extent that it can even provides our high in fi shows in terms of the fabrics textiles. the one that we usually call here cannot be, or that is more popular, is the one that has gotten an intoxicating element in it. they call it a tetra hydra canal benoit's. so in industrial, hemp goes in trace amount, negligible. but in the one that is locally available, we call it jumbo in our language. it is it course high concentrations of lat may be up to 20 percent of it. so it's the alcohol element in it, which is the difference between what we call industrial hemp and the one that is used for recreation. our business model has got 2 facets. one facet is where we are seeing here. him being grown and the greenhouse is to produce flowers than

the other facet of our business is the production of the grain, the bio mass, which we are outsourcing from the outgrow us. those are the farmers who were growing tobacco only as a cash crop, but now we have added him as an additional cash crop. love nobody. she wanted to see. we wanted to train, you call because i've been going to back for very long time. didn't we wanted to see how the new quote could benefit us. we're also tearing crops to improve the fertility of our soil. washington, instead of growing the same crop every year, when i joined it. we said that hemp is a multi purpose crop. so part of the oil that you see is ex, like, this one is 80 boil, extracted from hemp seed. i, him grain. andy, refined for human consumption in the back in the bottles here,

the plastic bottle seats, the hemp seed, this packages for ready for consumption. these are all high in protein and eve, omega 3, omega 6 fatty acids, and the i bought for nutrition by and large, and then from the flowers in the greenhouse operations that you saw over there, we have the flowers that we run through our distillation meal. then we take out the c, b. so this is one of the components within b cannot be said that plant, which is a car number, no oil, which is very good for the body, trying to stimulate the body, helping with a bit of sleep, o paid. ah. busy so it's, it's quite good that we have seen these products coming out of which instead of just reading in the newspapers or reading it in maybe even foreign media. but now

we are making them here from our own conservation, our on processing, and our on our energy in terms of how things should be done. francine oil, protein powder, chuckle, became rope close. in full, many other applications. my mind is made up, him is the chrome of the future. this particular piece is such a unique piece in the sense that it tells a unique african story because and it is cause we think non dimas, the bag that people carry in in the location when they have a lot to carry it. how much say it took her a while to actually arrive at this point before was all is looking at other means in other ways. and this big just happened to be part of what i was doing, cuz it also follows into the idea of a journey. i remembered back when i was still young in the rural areas there with my grand knees. mold my own parents as well when they were going for like long

journeys, they would usually use his bank as a form of you know, a back. they could carry anything they could have wanted. you know, at that point, let's not travel to germany to see how it's soccer pro hahn. so pie is eating the new generation about football and food. commer soccer pro hands are pi is a keen cook. now he's combined his 2 passions and developed a nutrition plan catering to the specific needs of competitive players. the enabled attrition plays an extremely important role in competitions. uh like the european football championship young's. and for because utley sir, under intense pressure to perform in a short period the german gun nay. and already published a cookbook to coincide with the u. a for euro 2020. but as his recipes are especially designed for soccer players,

they could also be on the menu for this year's world championship stars. down here the craft. luckily, oatmeal has lots of carbohydrate pointed artisan of all mackwood. we need more carbohydrates because football players are on the move a lot more and i'm the and then we have soy milk with protein i, vice i right when the protein because athletes have greater muscle mass and they're off now and after practices or a much those muscles need to regenerate, bobby, and he says the ideal breakfast like this opener with peanut butter, should contain 50 percent carbohydrates. in 25 percent protein. peanut butter contain lots of minerals and pu, provides extra vitamin portion. sizes depend on an athlete, body weight, and his or her level of physical exertion is, are up. i can look back on an illustrious career, back in 2011, while playing for german club shocker. his team beat italian heavy weights,

inter milan and the champions league in all of them isn't much come flooding back the. nobody believed in the south. yeah. in the end, we scored 5 call salma. it was an intense back and for her players had filled up on cards ahead of the match. i look for hearing shouldn't be qualified to think that he had taken in lots of carbohydrates. why went to practice? got one that i lied and had some more passed it before kick off a meal plan that paid off on the pitch. am i? no, no, this is manuel. knew it was a gold keeper and that much against inter milan half year had that exceptional power of his is also a product and his diets into companies, norton. and you can't just head to the gym and push weights and o continued. you build up muscles. scott, but won't be able to use their full potential. hands are pi who also coaches soccer, gets everyone together to cook meals bursting the carbohydrates

in. those food gives you more energy. this meal is fully and it's tasty. and besides the letter, the mom's cooking healthy meal should be flavorful and fun. after a long day on the pitch is our party is preparing burgers with grilled vegetables and beef. they pack a protein punch just what the players will need to come out on top of the 2022 world cup. yes, i'm counted on of mystic for, for the after long day of exercising your body needs protein. staying a stake, burger with grilled vegetables like this would be ideal for someone like manuel ny post. much get on it. of course his entire team needs to perform well at the tournament place, but i'm sure he will do very well in kind of got excellent players in the team realty down as good the right kind of diet. i'm sure they'll reach the final with hands are pies, healthy meals. they'll definitely be on the ball. i'm

spending time in this unique artist gallery and whigs phase, and i get to speak to the artist themselves. with me is danny sealing joined. now danny sealer, i understand that when you started creating art, you were using charcoal, but because of this platform you progressed to using acrylic paint because you assisted with materials and so much more. tell me a bit more about your journey. i found out that i you give me like more room for me like to experiment more like with other mediums other than the one that i was accustomed to. yeah. so i had to say to blood on like, he played a fair to be called in michael how important is i'd say to you, what does it mean? they are a fair. i know it's a deep, clear vision question. i, it's interesting, you know, but for me is i'd like to really like, put if you know, and you'd like, what is it exactly. but for me, art is late as life. you know?

because you know, like every you go, you know, you c, p a teacher, we create, i, ste. yeah, we create art in on, so we just an extension or white already. thank you, danny celia and i really hope you continue to create art that inspires me to borrow a boiler in has created a successful business by following her love was simple and clean jewelry pieces. let's see how she does it. give us a modern because you where you are very particular about the shoes. you buy the bugs, you buy the hair you buy. so why not your jury legacy phase to bow blurry is one of the few contemporary nigerian jewelry designers that have changed the game by designing modern handcrafted pieces. moving away from the typical chunky style nigeria is known for. i noticed that in our space here nature, a lot of our designs are very heavy and cordial. portnoy. there was really nothing

that spoke to every day where and every day you're slightly 9 express and who you are every day on the street. you know, so that was a lot of the inspiration behind going into this speech. she believes in creating pieces that much classic sophistication with a graceful ora. i mean that had a learning initially leg, some years back, boy was just a fun thing to do. like a hobby, you know, because i never thought about making jury before day, you know, just like your regular person that does wardrobe because hey, you know, it was nice and i like it. the founder of the brand is a graduate of computer science. i went on to study jewelry design after her mom showed her how to make some pearl beads, which she found fascinating towards the end of my masters degree in computer science and information systems. i decided to give it a chance. my mom was he foundation and from a major aspiration into jewelry make a she was one actually taught me how to make my 1st piece. it was like,

wait what i literally just me this be in many minutes away anyway. and it's something that i did, this is a quick sketch of a piece i'm about to make. it's a bypass rings has got a really nice huge dome. and the little one next to it. the use of 3 d design is to get a better 3 dimensional look on the julie piece to see if it can make its way into production. my compet aside, baghlan are actually coming handy because now doesn't expect of 3 d design. a 3 d printing that we're using drew that i also using jewelry before we now move back to traditional methods of manufacturing the jewelry and having the ready make peace that somebody can wear it. so this is actually where all the excitement begins. so actually making the piece on order comes in with what is it comes to peer and just make it happen. method zayna way of doing kind of comes out of view in some fashion

. there's a piece of you been expressed in everything that you make, whatever it is. and for me, that would mean am i was in, i like things that are simple and clam clean. honestly, it's exciting. it's fulfilling, you know, making something we know from scratch, which are hand, you know, by yourself and see needs bring somebody else joy, you know, it's, they owe you been wanting this thing and somebody you love buys it for yes. but the gift or a graduation gift, you know it's, that's for, for meant of knowing that some of the dees me inspiration be i now pieces is our client. so how do we make pieces that help them express themselves and don't blend really easy, lia, seamlessly into their lifestyle. i have all the pieces now to put the ring together . so i have the shank, that's the band. the pipes of the ring goes, you know,

until the hand and nan. so these are the other parts faster, don't to big one. so now i'm gonna assemble it for solder and put it together. i think i just had a enjoying the whole process more and more and the fact that i can actually create something, you know, i can see something have an idea and bring it to life. you know, from start to finish initially. any think i was like i'm a person, it just became why is firing? seeing people look at a piece of like, oh my god, you meet the increase. are there any way you as a human being, you know, having an idea, micky, something with your bare hands is seen the piece. the final result. if i don't have a flaming of why it's exciting and, and it's will really know some degree after done polishing, cleaning, and plates. and this is what the final piece looks like before we put in arizona. and the resume comes in the liquid form like this in different colors. after that

was mix it up point in let his set, let it cure for king, for about 24 to 72 hours. and then when it's done, it looks like this. this is the one in salt and pepper, and it serve amazing and beautiful piece made from start to finish. do bar as choice of using reson give her design options. it has various colors, tentative, allowing her as a designer to create pieces in different colors and shapes. with her jory, which may not be so easy or affordable to create if using gemstones, i think minimal of them as a lifestyle. it's a way of been intentional about what you, where, what you do, what you eat, how you live, you know, things like that. it's a lifestyle that flows across different aspects of a person's life, or in our case, like the modern woman's life, with the global trend of less is more taking over the design space to barbara has

proven that this trend is firmly rooted in the future of african design, i think that's all we had time for today. don't forget to hit us out on d w dot com forward slash assay maxwell more next time. thanks a lot. j with ah ah ah ah ah ah ah
