Ready when you are |j ready when you are i am a musician, i play folk music, i think i am a storyteller first and foremost, so the music right now is exploring ideas of protest and belonging and identity in south africa. Waiting to break black bodies begin. Asa begin. As a young person and a young mother, the corruption issues that have been plaguing the anc and, you know, that have just become almost normal, the fact that these things happen at such high levels but have now become the culture of how people do things, even at local levels, you canjust do things, even at local levels, you can just see this way of living trickling into every single institution, almost like a cancer. My institution, almost like a cancer. My message to the anc is to stamp out corruption and to put the people first and not bow down to the needs of big business.
