Nduduzo Makhathini
is not playing alone
Nduduzo Makhathini has been back in Durban for only a day when we speak. Two months on the road — Princeton, Houston, Phoenix, Seattle, Berkeley, London, Antwerp and points between — and now home, which he says with the particular relief of someone who means it.
“Man,” he says, settling into the word. “It really does feel good. After two months. It really does.”
But even in the exhale of homecoming, his mind is moving. It moves the way it always does: restlessly, laterally, pulling threads between centuries and continents, between a greeting in KwaZulu-Natal and the technology of the stars.
