Richie says “My work is based on people who migrated from Zimbabwe to South Africa looking for greener pastures due to the hardships they’ve faced in Zim”. His artwork hopes to raise awareness around some of the difficulties Zimbaweans experience in South Africa. “After migrating, Zimbabweans struggle to get documentation such as work permits, so they end up being domestic workers, vendors whilst holding a degree. When they get wages they buy themselves nice clothes from bargain shops so that they can still send money back home”.
