WHO ARE WE ?

"Naba-Abolova" is a creative collective started and creative directed by Zenhlanhla myeni aka ZEN

Established in 2018 Mofolo South, Soweto the "Abolova collective" is a small group of creatives that decided to elevate the image associated with the township youth. The collective aims to glamorize the mundane township streets and showcase and tangible potential to the average “kasi kid”.

Abolova are usually seen as the kasi kids that never grow up, the ones that make up the overwhelming majority of that 40%+ south african youth unemployment rate and the prime victims of the most unequal economy on earth, With a Gini index of 0.63. Abolova are basically the forgotten kids that never stood a chance to begin with.

Such representation serves to boost the self esteem of these forgotten kasi kids.
