Lebogang Mashile is much more than South Africa’s most popular poet. Indeed, former South African President Thabo Mbeki, invited her to address the nation at his inauguration.

The thirty year-old actress and community organizer studied law before she became a spoken word performer.

Now, as South Africa prepares for it’s forthcoming election, Lebogang Mashile leaves all comfort zones behind to take stock of her country’s progress -- 15 years after Nelson Mandela was voted president of the Rainbow Nation.
