At noon ten of our group visit  Robbie jansen the famous South
African Alto Sax player.  He has invited
us to eat at his home.  We entered and
sat at the dinner table  as he regaled stories
of Cuba.  It is the reason he likes to
invite people to his home.  The chef is his  step son who  becomes  Master of Ceremonies and explains the
wonderful food while serving it.  After
an astounding world class meal  of Cape
Malay and bread and butter pudding with butternut we leave to travel to Mitchells Plain.

We visit Janine’s childhood home.  I had the incredible coincidence of meeting Janine
a few months ago in Sweden.  I told her I
was coming to Cape Town. Later on she said “you are coming to my house.”  What are the odds on that!  Janine is Blaq
Pearl .   We speak to her in her home
on Mitchells Plain and slowly slowly she unravels the story of her brother otherwise
known as  Devious a rapper mc who was
killed outside their front door

His story is like Tupac’s. But she was there.  There’s no iconography just a brother who
went to help his father who was being beaten by some drunk boys on the corner.
He trapped his foot in the gutter and a boy stopped beating his father, walked
calmly towards him and slashed his throat.  
I consider Janine’s well being as she opens this unsealed box and
carefully takes out the elements of the scene. 
I hope that she will be able to put it back were it was once we are
gone. We leave for home in silence.I wonder if heaven's got a ghetto.
