This after chaos broke out in the town when community members raided the homes of alleged drug dealers.Masakhane Arts Centre leader Elcardo Chulu says they are providing a safe space for youngsters to express themselves.

“All the xenophobic attacks that happened throughout the times, we thought about unity and bringing the different communities together to work on a common goal, which is the arts. We all know the arts is what brings people together because of its culture.”
