The Break Between Seasons
As a big part of Bathandwa’s passion, Maak ‘n Plan has served as a medium for creative expression, sharing heart warming conversations with friends. The break between the last season and this new episode was both an opportunity for growth and realigning with what matters most for Bathandwa as he passionately shares on his caption on instagram
@gorgeousbushman"This year has been a baptism of fire. Many moulding moments influenced by my eagerness for wanting to stand on the opposite side of fear. I couldn’t explain how purposeless my life feels without Maak ‘n Plan. It’s been exactly a year since the last season, and it wouldn’t have made sense to start the new season without giving you a piece of my heart."

We wont go in-depth as to what was said on the conversation but what we can promise you is, it is a true South African story filled with diversity of cultures, authenticity, and most importantly with freedom of expression.
In the conversation Bathandwa shares his background of being raised in Khayelitsha then later moving to Kraaifontein with his librarian mother. He further points out the importance of having a mother that introduced him to literature potentially igniting the passion for storytelling, as well as the cultural influences of the time and people he grew up around highlighting the famous Cape Town “iSpeedans” also known in Jozi and Gauteng as “iZikhothane”. The conversation is filled with a wealth of information, references that can help anyone reading translate their passion into a fulfilling career just as Bathandwa has done for himself.
