Halfway through my interview with Thandiswa Mazwai, she tells me about a tattoo she has on her chest. Its a combination of symbols she found in the late Credo Mutwas book Indaba, my children .
On the first page of the book are over a hundred symbols representing everything from Animal will eat you to Enemies around the corner. But there were four in particular that stood out for her.
I put those four symbols on my chest and I made myself a kind of sentence out of them, she says.
