Etafeni gardener Khehle Makhabeni taught me methods of organic gardening in limited space over the course of a week, and so much more. Once I said to him, "South Africans are so nice and welcoming," and he responded, "We're just pretending." He explained to me the next day that "We're taught to respect and act nice and pretend to understand the White people; they are respected and they know everything. That's why I said we pretend."

Gardener Khehle Makhabeni at Etafeni
Etafeni gardener Khehle Makhabeni taught me methods of organic gardening in limited space over the course of a week, and so much more.
