A project founded by photographer and renowned creative maestro Trevor Stuurman, The Manor's latest offering is REKAOFELA – an all-out celebration of art, fashion, and South African football culture that has popped up at 44 Stanley. It's must-see. 

Paintings by Blessing Rooi are on display alongside clothing and accessories by Kasi Flavour10. Embodying a similar spirit to the ancient African word ubuntu, "rekaofela" is a Sesotho saying that translates to 'we are together'. South African heritage, identity, and the uniting power of shared passion form the focus of this exhibition.

The connection between Rooi's artwork and Kasi Flavour10 clothing is perfectly paired and rich in legacy. The founder of Kasi Flavour10, Kabelo Kungwane, is the son of legendary football player Isaac "Shakes" Kungwane. The exhibition includes photos he has collected that depict the richness of soccer in South Africa, and the culture of the game's most avid fans. 

This is not just a pop-up but a time capsule experience into South African football culture and its heritage. A collaboration with meaning and purpose. 

REKAOFELA is open at 44 Stanley until the end of March from 09:00 - 17:00 on weekdays and 09:00 - 16:00 on weekends.
