The Impotance of Social Life.

  As the sun set over the familiar neighborhoods, we as a group of friends gather at our favorite hangout spot, reminiscing about old times and sharing the current. We had been had grown up together, exploring the streets, sharing laughter, and supporting each other through thick and thin. Some of our friends are late. Over the years, we had gone or separate ways, chasing dreams and building careers. Some had moved to different cities, while others had stayed close to home. Despite the distance and varying degrees of success, our bond remained strong. On weekends as  we sat together, we couldn't help but notice the different stages of life we had each reached. Some are married with kids, while others were still pursuing their passions. Some have achieved great professional success, and others have taken  more unconventional paths. One of our friends,  had been always dreaming of starting her own business. He had taken the leap and is now running a successful startup....

Rasta’s painting of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle has the internet in stitches!

Portrait enthusiast Lebani Sirenje, aka “Rasta”, has got tongues wagging yet again after his painting of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle made its way onto the internet. 

Known for botching portraits of famous people, dead or alive, Rasta proved again that his painting skills might need a bit of honing. 

In his bid to congratulate Prince Harry and Meghan on the news that they're expecting a second child, Rasta took to Twitter and shared snaps of the portraits he painted in honour of the royals.

While Rasta thought he nailed the portrait of the royal couple, social media users came at him for yet another botched job.

Here are some of the reactions: 

Earlier this month, Rasta's painting of late opera singer and jazz icon Sibongile Khumalo failed to impress the TL.

In her honour, Rasta took the opportunity to admire the musician with his art by dedicating two paintings to her. 

He took to Twitter and shared the two portraits with a caption that read, “Laying Sibongile to rest at Market Theatre”. But the artworks were not welcomed by social media users, who urged him to put down his brushes.

Speaking to TshisaLIVE last year about the backlash his paintings often get, Rasta said people were too quick to judge his works of art.

“People can't just wake up and say I must stop painting, that would kill me ... Rather they must say, go change this or learn this and I'll improve.”
