Yes there is more to this gentleman than meets the eye. A Lesotho citizen, little retarded due to lack of proper food and care, kicked out of his community because of this and sought refuge with us across the border. He is an illegal immigrant who evades soldiers and police. A complicated situation cause he longs for his people and visits there at every opportunity, returns and tends the cattle. Friendly and humble, a simple man,satisfied with very little.

Great result for a wonderful portrait Amanda. There is so much wrong in our country and neighbours right now, not to mention the world. Lesotho citizens are so poor and the politicians and royalty oblivious to their citizens plight whilst chauffeured in their limo's and cooped up in their mansions.
