Here's a photo of my freind Vukile (on the right) and his freind in Ginsberg Location, outside of King William's Town. We were hanging out in front of the "ghetto" of Dias, Vukile's freind. We had just woken up and were listening to some Yellowman on the stereo. Vukile was in the midst of a hangover skank.

Vukile was a close freind of mine from Fort Hare who
was always willing to talk and explain any manner of things. I had gone
to Ginsberg with Vukile to visit his grandparents and meet his freinds.
The former home of Steve Biko was right down the block from Vukile's
grandparents home. (I should also mention my freind Ziyaya while I'm
at it. He was another reggae soldier from Ginsberg. He loved the Jolly
Brothers!)

| Here's my journal entry from that morning... "The morning after a long ass night. I'm in Ginsberg, the location outside of King William's Town. I came with Vukile yesterday to visit his grandfather. We went out to a few shebeens last night, had too much to drink, and spent all my money. I got up this morning and realized I spent about 60 Rand last night. Vukile got me up this morning but I had already been up for awhile... Vukile is in no bright mood, suffering from a hangover. It's "dealing with him." After we went to the first shebeen we went to a place and got some schwag meat, rough stuff, all eating from one plate. A woman was selling it from her kitchen. The shebeens were people's homes converted." | |
