My name is Karabo Molestane and I'm a Visual Communicator.

 

My self promotional makes use of subject matter that is seen as now South African rather than belonging to a certain ethnic group and is meant to encourage an audience to find more things in their everyday life that are South African. Hence the name “Mzanzi Like Me”. The name “Mzanzi Like Me” was inspired by the nighties ethnic hair product Black Like Me. I wish to repeat the same sense of pride achieved by the users of Black Like Me because they had found a brand that spoke to them personally to be repeated when an audience takes a look at my work. In the name, I replaced the word “Black” with the word “Mzanzi” to re-appropriate my theme to cater to all South African regardless of their ethnicity and to also encourage a sense of pride in being South African.
