The Fingo Festival Revolution in South Africa’s Eastern Cape

Ts'eliso Monaheng, Africa is a Country

“You’ve got a car? It’s less than two hours from here” says a Rasta woman I’ve known for a total of ten minutes. In that time, she’s managed to convince me to travel with her to a town nearby (or was it me trying to convince her?) on a hunt for medicinal herbs.

The ganja in these here parts is strong. Mango, I’m told, is this season’s flavour. It can be found in Port Alfred, the town in question.

I didn’t have a car in any case and had to forego the offer, unfortunately.
