Meet Waqa. Waqa lives in Gugulethu township outside Cape Town, South Africa. After serving time in his late teens for assault, Waqa’s life now revolves around friends, smoking dope, and a passion for hip-hop music known as Spaza, a form of Xhosa township hip-hop he helped to create. Here, he rolls a dakka (marijuana) joint in his backyard shack, his love of Spaza plastered to the walls behind him.
