The country we call home.
a view us locals of Mparntwe are so familiar with,
as we pass right by each day
that we take for granted this spectacular sight.
our magnificent mountain range next to the gap
that brings visitors through into our town, by car,
and train and truck.
this mountain stands strong and still through time forever,
the light glistening back it’s ever changing colours.
reminding us locals that we’re home.
This Roller shutter Art piece has been created as part of the Mparntwe Street Art Festival 2024 in conjunction with Red Hot Arts and proudly sponsored by Activate Alice.
