Mama Africa by renowned street artist Steve ‘Espo’ Powers
It’s Sunday, and Maboneng’s weekend market is a clamour of colour. Street-cart owners shriek for business, stooping over sizzling barbecues and bubbling pots. Buskers blare out Bob Marley tunes and dance troupes pound out tribal rhythms, faces pouting, hips gyrating, legs a-blur. Under abandoned office blocks and red-brick walls splashed with street art, vendors tout their wares: African handicrafts, wildlife paintings, T-shirts emblazoned with political slogans and Nelson Mandela portraits. It’s chaotic, deafening and full of life.
