'What is this sh*t?'

As the group of men and women clad in black gathered in front of Kalahari Arms Lodge my eyes got fixated on one man approaching from the south. He walked slowly. Gingerly. His spiked Afro hairstyle was dusted with some white powder that resembled ash. His face was also not spared from the white dust. He appeared like he was just rolling on white powder. He was wearing an Iron Maiden Flight 666 black T-shirt with Eddie (Iron Maiden mascot) riding on top of the band’s own customised Boeing 757 – the famous Ed Force One.

As the man approached – still gingerly – I could see his distinct resemblance of Eddie (the mascot). When I started to clink away my camera shutter to capture the man, the Iron Maiden’s Best of the Beast album sleeve came to my mind – he looked like one of the beasts on that sleeve. This must be the Gantsi version of Eddie.
