We take brotherhood and togetherness very seriously its something we are trying to instill into our mindsets that we are all we got and if one person succeeds then so should the other. We’re all about uplifting each other and looking out for for one another. Gangsters Paradise The New Age Jerusalem taken from the actual film Jerusalem starring the great Rapulana Seiphemo as Lucky Kunene a concept that Yuns (@yuniorkubheka) came up with. Sahlangana njengolova with this very gangster theme and added a-bit of our own new age flavour to the whole project. Inkabi being a word that rerosantes alot with who we are. We decided to make a short film where we show how important loyalty is to us and how seriously it’s taken within this group of young men. - Konke Sibisi
