My name is Motheo Mofokeng. I’m a second-year law student at the University of the Western Cape (UWC) in Cape Town, South Africa. I’m also a part-time pianist and composer, as well as writer and scholar with a keen interest in politics, philosophy, law, literature, music and cultural production.
I’m also an avid reader and a consummate jazz aficionado and an overall music enthusiast. When I’m not busy with books, I’m engaged in fitness training, martial arts, meditation and/or chess.

“O my body, make of me a man who questions!”
Frantz Fanon, “Black Skins, White Masks (1952)”
“Because love is an act of courage, not of fear, love is a commitment to others. No matter where the oppressed are found, the act of love is commitment to their cause – the cause of liberation.”
Paulo Freire, “Pedagogy of the Oppressed (1970)”
“I am what time, circumstance, history, have made of me, certainly, but I am also, much more than that. So are we all.”
