5 minutes with Batsi Jorofani

I paint to reflect the beauty I see and feelings I experience. Most of my art I paint from imagination and memories. I enjoy experimenting with the play of light in a painting and the use of warm, cool and hot colours of the paint helps me express my interpretation of the subject – be it figures, landscapes or floral studies.

Shout out to our Vendors

Our vendors operate as self-made entrepreneurs and their sole earnings are profit made from each magazine they sell. We appeal to you to donate to our vendors’ wish lists below, enabling them to further their opportunities. If you can make a dream come true, please reach out to us. The Big Issue is a social enterprise, creating opportunities to end poverty and exclusion.

Support a vendor this winter

July in Cape Town signals extreme cold and wet, wintry weather. The Big Issue – a social enterprise creating opportunities to end poverty and exclusion – is South Africa’s one and only street magazine. To keep sustainable, please support our vendors who face adverse weather conditions and traffic every day to generate an income. We appeal to you to donate to our vendors’ wish lists below, enabling them to further their self-made opportunities. Who knows, you could make a vendor’s dream come true if you are able to employ, teach or mentor someone.
