Sublime is the only word that came to mind as I saw this scene unfolding before me. The beautiful Drakensberg Mountains and South Africa’s own indigenous Ngunis doing what they have done for millennia. It doesn’t become more real than that. Her people, the place and all that inhabit her. South Africa a land of many faces, all diverse and wonderful in each its own special way. Life is not long enough to portray these images I long to capture and share by means of canvas, paint and brush. The bare nuts and bolts of everyday life in this magnificent land.
