Father: “I want a paternity test.”
Mother: “He’s twelve.”
Father: “I know.”
Mother: “You’ve raised him since he was born.”
Father: “I know.”
Mother: “You’ve never questioned whether he’s yours.”
Father: “Someone contacted me.”
Mother: “Who?”
Father: “A man who says he had a relationship with you before we got together.”
She stared at him.
Mother: “And you believe him?”
Father: “I don’t know what I believe. That’s why I want the test.”
Mother: “And if you’re wrong?”
Father: “I’ll apologize.”
Mother: “And if you’re right?”
He didn’t answer.
They eventually agreed to the test.
Two weeks later, the results arrived.
Sixteen years ago, I was having lunch in Bedfordview with two friends.
In the middle of that meal, I asked a simple question:
“Why do we have to drive this far just to enjoy a proper meal?”
At the time, I owned a small two-bedroom house in Daveyton.
And in that moment, something shifted.
Instead of complaining about the distance…
I decided to change the location of opportunity.
I went back home.
Demolished the two-bedroom house.
And built what would become Brima Café — an elegant restaurant in the heart of Daveyton.
Not because it was easy.
But because our community deserved quality.
Our people deserved experience.
And our township deserved excellence.
Brima Café was never just a restaurant.
It was a statement.
A statement that you don’t have to leave your community to enjoy beauty.
You can build it where you are.
From a question over lunch…
to a landmark in Daveyton.

A sneak peek into how a Gibson Kente rehearsal looked like in the 70s. Mam'Mary Twala is SINGING okay!
Kente’s theatre can be read as early “mass media” in a context where Black voices were excluded from dominant press, radio, and television. His productions travelled, drawing huge audiences in community halls, and word of mouth. He created a counter-public sphere, an alternative network of knowledge and performance that bypassed state-controlled media.
To me he demystified theatre it was no longer an elite or distant practice, but something ordinary people could attend, participate in, and even aspire to make. He turned performance into a tool of social identity and collective memory.
