Partnered with his natural gift of drawing, Frans expresses his deepest emotions through visual imagery and sees art as his closest companion which has helped guide him through emotional confusion and moments of melancholy.

This maverick comedian, who is on a world tour, will be performing on the 27th of April at The Loft and you absolutely need to be there. Carl Joshua Ncube is currently on an EXILE tour around the world and is currently visiting NAMIBIA to tell his story about Zimbabwe to the world.
