I interviewed Lauren Kent and Andile Nayika. They're about the same age and that's where the similarity ends (or is it? Grahamstown always manages to surprise you and challenge your deepest held beliefs).
Andile is a journalist, poet, artist, visionary, and he grew up in Grahamstown. Lauren grew up in Pretoria, and has started a local small scale bakery called Simply Bee. Lauren only uses environmentally friendly ingredients, and Andile organically sows words. Both love the earth, both write, and they're both part of a new generation of South Africans doing their bits for peace.
"..Like Earthquakes the youth is ground braking..a growing proud nation..we alert da South with da mouth when we' sound making..voices of different tones..white, black and brown faces.."
