The Spaza Life

My Scholarship entry - A 'place' I have visited

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.
