Speaking to TimesLive, he said for this collection,he incorporated the Xhosa and Japanese cultures.
“Both cultures have passed on storytelling from one generation to the next.The stories that we found in our research led us to discover myths that have a sense of moral value when told. The Japanese have warrior stories of battles,similar to most cultures in South Africa”
