This is Genius.
South Africa, lets show the world what we made of.

'Control', the fourth single from Spoek Mathambo's debut album Mshini Wam, is a 'darkwave township house' cover of the Joy Division classic 'She's Lost Control'. In collaboration with one of South Africa's most influential photographers Pieter Hugo, and cinematographer Michael Cleary, the new video explores township cults and teen gangs. Shot on location in a squatted train boarding house in Langa, Cape Town, the video features a cast mostly made up of local neighborhood kids who run their own dance troop, Happy Feet. Spoek Mathambo has been pioneering a progressive take on African music for the last few years via his DJing (as HIVIP), solo and live band projects, having featured on Boysnoize Records and Top Billin.

Fish of Galilee
More than ten years ago my parents went to Jerusalem on holiday bought a silver fish/knife for me. I was too young to have it at the time so my mother kept it.
Until, sometime last year when she found it in a box and surprised me with a beautiful gift.
The fish in the design is an illustration of the keyring.
