Themba lives in Gugulethu, a township in Capetown, SA. He is a musician, actor, community organizer, activist, and a reconciliation practitioner. Themba was a teenager during the years of South African Apartheid, and was present at many protests and marches. He remembers his youth as an angry time where he was forced to grow up very fast and without many options that were not violent. 

His path towards reconciliation was paved through his work in the arts, where he found a means to channel his angers at first, and later his compassion. 

Of an age with Wilhelm Verwoerd, Themba serves as a mirror to the exact other side of Wilhelm's life as a youth in South Africa. Together they help bridge many gaps between black and white South Africans in the workshops they lead.
