Moilwa exhibits apartheid memories at Thapong

Using photography, Moilwa, who claims he never lived in South Africa, depicted the pains of apartheid using animal and plant images photographed over time.One big framed piece depicts a goat photographed with a tyre around its neck. Moilwa says he stumbled upon the incident while travelling in the far north of the country. He says it reminded him of the "necklace era" when South African blacks would "necklace" one of their own and burn him alive, for betraying others to the 'system'.

Moilwa  also uses a framed picture of  manacled hoofs of a donkey to show the shackles of the apartheid era. A blossoming home garden flower is also framed artistically  to reflect the new post apartheid life.  "The apartheid system also affected me, though I never lived there, but I have relatives there who suffered," explains Moilwa.  Being a Mokgatla, a tribe dispersed from its original home in South Africa in the 1900's, he is a living example of the scars of the apartheid era.
