When Sedireng Mothibatsela's grandmother, Miriam Nono Mosaka died some 10 years ago, she was so devastated that she sat down and penned a poem titled 'Heaven' or 'Izulu'. The 30-year-old artist found solace in the poem that reads in part:

Hopelessly loving through pain Is Heaven...
The sound of soul in my locks Or is Heaven where my granny lives
She always said things like, "My child, just go to school, look after each other."
"Hai, mnatanami, we have swallowed a bitter pill!"

After writing the poem, the artist put it away safely as according to her, she does not normally share her writings with anyone.
