Street art appreciates frontline workers :: Mmegi Online

Without having been commissioned, a group of local visual artists have been paying homage to frontline workers with some impressive artwork on the street.

The art in a public space has turned into an ongoing random act of kindness campaign for workers such as truck drivers, nurses and doctors in the frontline of the COVID-19 battle front. After an incident at the borders where truck drivers revealed their outcry, a group of artists decided to set up the public art on the route from Tlokweng border this past weekend.

They painted live truck drivers and cheerful messages in bright colours, motivating the front line workers who have been feeling unappreciated lately. Their next stop this week was Princess Marina Hospital where the artists continued to honour and appreciate nurses and all health care professionals with live paintings just near the traffic circle.
