To Who It May Concern Read by Modise Sekgothe

(Day 132)

To Whom It May Concern,

They have glued flat my tongue against the roof of my mouth, my words; i had attempted to store them beneath it, no -- rather -- these trifling words. Now, in lieu of my handicap, if it be not at all troublesome to you, may you please burden yourself with but a few letters thereof, and when you see Her, in Her ears arrange them gently. Tell Her not to use them. No. Not as yet. They are still only but pitiful parasites, her ears sumptuous seashells. She should only, only harvest them once they have matured into the lustrous pearls that i know them to be. Inform Her that i will be at Her service at harvest, and when She speaks these pearls, i will hold on to them, add them as charm pieces to the headdress that i have assembled out of her, “I love yous”, “You are for mes”, and “You make me happys”. In what will be a symbol in our celebration of our being, I will adorn Her in Her crown forged in the fairness of my need to be with Me.

Tell Her this:"There are three things that we know for certain in this life:
1. We know not where we come from and why we are here.
2. We know not how we will exit this life and where we are to go thereafter. 3. We know that we exist, we are here, and life is hard.

Now please, may you walk with me through this hardship? You are Me. I have found Me. Assist Me. As our bodies are the mountains that we are tasked to move incessantly, with your faith in Me, move Me, and I, with mine in You, will move You. You move me, ever so effortlessly, always. You are Me. May you move Me willingly, till our exit from this existence.

I Am You. You love Me, truly.”

Yours Sincerely,
Me.

I being one to never page through an album chronologically, I skip towards the very end and ask Silas which, among the plethora of reasons, is the one that he believes to be the spine that holds together the volume that captures, “come study at Market Photo Workshop”. With no bokeh of hesitation he replies, “why would you come here?” he pauses, muses as if adjusting his aperture and putting the perfect picture in focus, looks back at us on his computer screen, then proceeds, “If there is one reason to bring you to the Market Photo Workshop, it has to be that here you learn how to create images, not how to take them.”

It prompts one to question the veracity of various other sayings in the series, such as "Iso ngeso" (an eye for an eye). In the absence of supporting evidence, doubts arise regarding the existence of such sayings within the Nguni nation prior to the arrival of the Bible. Did the production team conduct thorough linguistic research to ensure the precision of the language used in the series?

South Africa is in its fifth week of its “until further notice” National Lockdown. The cheapest cigarette loose draw now costs nothing less than R5, the cheapest bottle of beer is at R40, and you can hunt for a bottle of Russian Bear at a breathtaking R500
