Discussion with Honeybush Healing Arts Platform
On February 29 2024, we had the opportunity to speak with Honeybush Healing Arts Platform, an Organisation which has created an opportunity for children from the Cape Flats to express themselves by painting murals with a message of peace and healing.
The organisation is the brainchild of SabaZahara HoneyBush, a community arts facilitator, communications specialist, digital marketer, and filmmaker.
Her blog echoes the sentiments of her work and “belief that creativity, when harnessed for community good, can be a powerful force for positive change”.

HoneyBush and her organisation have been awarded a scholarship to pursue a Humanitarian MBA for Groups through the Roxbourg Institute of Social Entrepreneurship in Switzerland.
They plan to complete seven child-led art murals in seven underprivileged areas by the end of this year which will be spearheaded by volunteers.

SabaZahara told us that the initiative aimed to bring hope and positivity to communities with dilapidated, broken and drab infrastructure.
“Children on the Cape Flats need to take ownership of the space around them – dull walls, neglected parks, the lack of quality visual arts education.
“These murals give children who are enormously creative a holistic outlet. They help beautify, heal and build community in areas ridden with social ills post the forced removals.
