Revisiting Motsoaledi

I spent another few days in Motsoaledi, settling in more with the community here.

Tour of Mots:


Here's a fun little clip of a re-interpretation of a song that I taught..


And them teaching me a song... and getting interrupted to go say hi to the kids enjoying a garden fresh lunch:


Cross-pollination: I introduced the guys from Motsoaledi to Maureen from the Landless People's Movement, who lives just a few neighborhoods away in another informal settlement. We all had lots to talk about, and here is Mandla explaining some of the delights of gardening. Maureen loved the idea, and invited Mandla to come back and help her start one (he did), and then she invited them to a series of workshops about organizing... it was a fun meeting!
