My topic is a critique of the ANC leader's performance in South Africa. I'm wondering why things are so difficult in this nation when politicians are upending everything. Nelson didn't struggle for everyone to be treated equally and to share everything in a diverse yet cohesive nation. Different patterns and textures are employed in my work. Ink on paper has been used as the medium.

My research focuses on the happenings of privileged residents of South Africa's towns and cities. I looked into the private lives of the wealthy and affluent in this country. During my research, I learned a lot about wealthy people, including the fact that some of them own businesses that compete in public competitions and that in their joint ventures, they split the proceeds between the government distributor and the private owner. instead of meeting the inhabitants of South Africa's needs.

In this work of art, the cultural connections between African and Western traditions are discussed. Due to the strong and instinctive elements that Western culture produces for African generation, African culture is persuaded by it.

Liquid on board has been used as the medium.

My work is influenced by the fine art of Jabulani Cele, who employs a variety of topics based on domestic African cultural and societal issues. Here's a picture of a Western man who allegedly stole millions of rand in South Africa by working with a security firm and a government-affiliated company to pass off the stolen funds as legal tender. Therefore, these government officials don't look back and consider how to aid the country's suffering unemployed people. I used Paper and ink as the materials.
