Catch Amatsha Ntliziyo –“the never-give-ups” at the District Six Museum

We closed off with an interview with Jo-Anne Smetherham and Vivienne Budaza - Executive Director at GAPA or Grandmothers Against Poverty and Aids. We were talking about Amatsha Ntliziyo –“the never-give-ups” a photo exhibition about a group of grandmothers who are showing extraordinary grit, care for others and even humour, despite the heavy burdens they carry. The gogos in the exhibition are among the many who have formed GAPA. South African photojournalist Eric Miller has captured the struggle and spirit of 17 grandmothers in intimate portraits of them, and their families. The photographs will be combined with excerpts from the grandmothers’ life stories, documented by Jo-Anne. The exhibition is at the District Six Museum’s Home coming centre till the 30th of August.
