“I invite you to connect with the indigenous wisdom of my people and find your soul through the spirit of our collective humanness, or ubuntu. I am the black lion who helps people discover the wild animal within. I am the black lion who roars for peace and harmony on the great mother earth. I am the black lion, alive in the wilderness,” says Mbatha.
