Pelisa Welemu and me met in 2002 in Mdantsane. Our paths had crossed through work, she being the founder and director of the newly created Ethembeni Old Age Home and me working for an International Development Organisation assisting NGO's in the Eastern Cape.
We became close friends and three years ago we decided that we would like to do a coffee-table book together about Mdantsane the second biggest African black city in South- Africa.

After having worked a long time on the concept, the articles, the lay-out and after having taken pictures and collecting stories for over 4 years we decided that we are going to write our book and publish it. And here it is.
We are introducing parts of ' THE MDANTSANE WAY " to you on this blog.
And we hope that you will enjoy what we have to tell and show you.
