3 | The computer made for visions.
His room was small and cold. The heater was left on day and night, even though it's a well know fact that fire caused by such heaters are the number one cause of deaths in South Africa's squatter areas.
Inside there was a bed, a torn couch, one chair, the heater, and for some odd reason, a computer. I didn't make any comment about it for the first half of my stay. It did fascinate me though; the context of it's existence, that is. There were nights where we had only a few slices of bread and a small portion of fried chips to share, so 'how could Kheta ever afford a computer?', I pondered. Our bellies were empty, but his computer was full of songs. How could it be?
As time passed, I saw how Kheta produced intricate music on this computer, even crafting speakers out of broken headphones he had stumbled upon.
I began to realize something: I was in the company of a very special person, and something equally special had to come from this trip.
