“We started talking. A friendship started and it was going to be a lifelong relationship,” Ngema says. “We Africans have unorthodox ways of developing the spirit and our consciousness.

When we pestered him about his yoga, curious to try it out, he invited someone to teach us transcendental meditation. This helped develop our own consciousness. And once the soul develops, it seeks to be fed by knowledge,” says Mtwa.
