“When producing this body of work we were influenced by a number of factors that aided us to narrate authentic African stories that will encourage giving in abundance such as graffiti, street art, pop art and graphic design. My brother Justice is known for creating intellectually and emotionally dense art and films, where as I love creating illustrative portraiture. Sthu Manaka’s contemporary paintings were really the perfect ingredient to completing this collection as we continue to revolutionise the creative space by partnering with brands such as Tastic. Says fine art designer Fhatuwani Mukheli

“We are truly honoured to be part of a campaign that will be giving young children much like ourselves at the time the opportunity to chase their dreams and expand their capabilities further without finances being a problem. We encourage the public to visit the Tastic exhibition at the Trumpet building to be inspired and form part of our journey by owning a piece from this phenomenal collection ” Says Photographer and creative entrepreneur Justice Mukheli.

“Perfect partnerships have enabled us to express our brand purpose as a way of cementing the legacy of Tastic in the spaces where we can make tangible differences in the lives of our consumers.
