I'm a artist at heart and I work in the film and television industry as Director of Photography. I grew up in Swaziland in South East Africa and I'm deeply rooted in my Swazi culture and tradition. I've been living in Johannesburg since 1994. I'm outgoing and fun loving and I love hosting people where I live. I'm into art, music and cultural events. Here's a link to a showreel of some of my filming work vimeo.com/108399111
