This is a series of stills I Illustrated for a film by the multi award wining film director
and producer, Sihle Hlope.

"Dear Sikhonkwane is an intimate portrait of one of the first SiSwati authors, who wrote, cowrote and edited over 40 books. Told through the eyes of someone who deeply admired him, the film is a love letter to his legacy, exploring his passion for his mother tongue." - Blackstar film festival

The film premiered at the Blackstar film festival on the 3rd of August 2025.

I created about 40 illustrations over the course of 3 months and this is a selection of my favourites. 
Thank you.
