I was born in the colourful vibrant District Six, Cape Town under an Apartheid government during hippie times. My birthplace & time had great impact on the course of my eventful life. I became a political activist at a young age, later participating in the First National Democratic Government. I’ve written poetry since I could write to help me through challenging times & to channel what I believed came from higher realms. Today, I’m interested in raising the profile of poetry to full blown professional business status, equal to other forms of creative works.
