Sifo Nokufa BUTIKAZI is an alter that is cynical in perception and focuses on themes of social commentary. His focus is based on industrial history and culture, the above installation is called, “Disabled”. Dedicated to political pan Africanist ideologies that existed before the South African democracy of 1994. His use of a disassembled mannequin is reflective of Africans who are dressed up as independent countries/citizens for a first world fashion show. Where those who first scrambled Africa through colonization, can presently buy it officially. Ambiguously, it also comments on the ideologies that did not want any assistance from multinationals, but were disabled by other Africans who wanted to sell out the continent for their own capitalistic benefits.
