Some secrets were never meant to disappear.
Ancient monuments. Forgotten symbols. Lost knowledge.

On 1&2 August, upgrade your braai game with us!

Two days at Bastion House. Real fires, real stories, a small group of strangers who’ll leave as friends. Zanzibar seafood over open flame, a Pan-African feast, Moroccan cooking under the sun. Every ingredient, every bed, sorted.

Luxury isn’t the marble — it’s the company and the flavour.

1–2 Aug. Few spots left.

Ag shem, come cook

Most Jo’burgers have never been to Fordsburg.
Not because it’s far. Not because it’s difficult. Just because nobody ever gave them a reason to go — or a way in that felt like it was meant for them.

That’s the thing about this city. Johannesburg is extraordinary, and most of us are strangers to it. We stick to familiar neighbourhoods, repeat myths about places we’ve never visited, and quietly wonder why we don’t feel more at home here.

Knowing your city changes that. Not as a tourist. Not as a spectator. But as someone who understands why Fordsburg smells the way it does on a Saturday morning, who built it, what it cost them, and what they brought with them across oceans to make it feel like home.
That kind of knowledge doesn’t just teach you about a place. It changes how you belong to it.
Join us in Fordsburg on 30 May with Chef Ishvara of African Secrets Cultural Walks.

Ag shem, you live here. Might as well actually know the place.

Fordsburg doesn’t need a tour guide. It needs a curious group of people and someone who knows how to ask the right questions.

That’s exactly what Chef Ishvara of African Secrets Cultural Walks does — and it’s why we’re walking through Fordsburg together on 30 May.

Pakistani sweet shops. Syrian baklava. Gujarati spices. Palestinian shwarma. Arabic juice bars. Tastings along the way. Real conversations about food, migration, and community.

Ag shem, 1001 spices on your doorstep and you still shop at Woolies?

CIRCUIT LAUNCHES: FASHION DISTRICT & LITTLE ETHIOPIA

Saturday 25 April, 10am

Meeting point: Fashion Square, 130 Pritchard Street, CBD

This isn’t about fashion. It’s about understanding how fabric tells Johannesburg’s story - who we were, who we’re becoming, what we’re carrying with us.

Ishvara guides you through the Fashion District’s transformation from textile industry heart to today’s vibrant African cloth hub. Nigerian Ankaras. Congolese wax prints. Traditional Shweshwe. Maasai Shukas. Ethiopian cottons. The patterns, the trade routes, the histories woven into what people wear.

We’ll explore shops contributing to the African Renaissance, visit the Fashion School where young designers begin, and finish in Little Ethiopia with traditional coffee and vegetarian buffet.

Small group. Expert guidance. Real discovery about how this city works, what it values, who it’s connected to - all visible in fabric.

R350 per person (optional traditional vegetarian lunch R100, paid directly to the owner)

Book: EFT proof of payment to ishvara@africansecrets.co.za

Ag shem, let’s discover this city properly.

INTRODUCING CIRCUIT
Guided cultural experiences through Johannesburg for people who want to actually understand the city - not just see it.
Small groups. Expert guides. Combinatorial thinking. Real discovery.
Not tours. Not sightseeing. Journeys that awaken your capacity to read this city, understand its complexity, and find your place in it.
Built for curious Jo’burgers who know there’s more happening than they’re accessing. But space for anyone genuinely willing to engage.
Cultural tourism that’s educational, reciprocal, and sustainable - built on depth, not volume.

Ag shem, Johannesburg deserves better than bus tours

A fabulous and chilled week.
Grateful for Voice over work
Bowie the cat being extra loving this weekend
And sweet Padmé getting in a selfie.

Celebrating my incredible friend for her birthday

Discovering an epic new plant called an African Spear

Having tea with beautiful people in their magical gorgeous home (I am so inspired - totally my dream)
And a lovely gift of homegrown spinach and a Soursop fruit. I can't wait to try it!

So grateful to have wonderful humans in my life

“𓂀 A son in chains I am.”

This painted cartouche echoes from the ancient world — a voice carved in silence, bound by legacy, myth, and memory.

Created for the upcoming book Secrets of Troy, this piece explores identity, captivity, and ancestral echo through a modern lens.

🌊✨ When the ocean was churned… the universe held its breath.
Devas and Asuras, once enemies, united to find Amrit – the nectar of immortality.
But before it emerged, came chaos, poison… and Shiva’s sacrifice.

🔱 From cosmic clashes to divine calm, this is the story of Samudra Manthan – a timeless tale from Hindu mythology that still inspires the world.

🎥 Watch 6 powerful moments that shaped the balance of the universe.
🌍 Mythology. Symbolism. Sacrifice. Balance.
