Stressed? Life getting you down? Or is your bum in the butter? Either way, living in SA, it is vital that you learn how to Toyi-toyi.
As part of my passion for using the medium of film as an educational tool (or edutainment), I recently made this short instructional video on an element of African culture. Please enjoy and practice at appropriate opportunities.

Hi Guys
a beautiful opportunity for you to practice your Xhosa this weekend, experience ubuntu, give some of your energy back to the poorer communities (they love having you there) and having heartfelt fun…..
Some of the things we’ll do on Sunday in Khayelitsha in no particular order..
Work in the garden and prepare it for planting (almost ready, as they’ve been working on it since the last community day.)
Paint a basic mural
Actiivities with kids: happy mobiles (arts and crafts), african drumming, drama (both acting as well as confidence and team-building stuff), tile painting, face-painting
watch the kids do their dance and drama performances
eat and drink
chill
play soccer against firefighters fc (could definitely use you as a midfielder)
wow that’s sounds like a lot, but will be well-organised and chilled. there’s also space for other stuff if you keen to lead something.
we’ll meet at uct at 9 and be back by 5 at the very latest
