Humansdorp-based photographer and filmmaker, Jonathan Phyllis, who has always remained dedicated to the community, plans to write a historical e-book about his town, which will be released on various digital platforms. <\/p>\n

As previously reported by the Kouga Express<\/span>, Phyllis is the founder of Humansdorp My Plek, a Facebook page which showcases his photographic work.<\/p>\n

Since its establishment two years ago, the Facebook page has accumulated at least 8 000 followers.<\/p>\n

With the impact of the COVID-19 lockdown on his photography business, Phyllis began taking pictures of his community and surrounding areas to keep busy which he then posted on his Facebook page.<\/p>\n

Apart from his photography business, Phyllis also created an online television channel, Kwai Kat TV, on social media to uplift his community which was plagued by gangsterism and gang-related killings.<\/p>\n

Now with more than 5 000 pictures on Humansdorp my Plek, he decided to create an e-book of some of the pictures on his page.<\/p>\n

The e-book will also feature updates about the people he has interviewed on Kwai Kat TV.<\/p>\n

\u201cI don\u2019t want to give too much information about the book, but what I can say is that it will be worth it. Everyone in Humansdorp knows that when I put my mind on something, I do it,\u201d said Phyllis.<\/p>\n

In the e-book he also plans to include stories about families who have lost their loved ones during the past two years, as part of the \u2018fallen legends\u2019 chapter.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe book is still in the early stages, but I hope to have it ready by the end of June this year,\u201d said Phyllis.<\/p>\n

He said the e-book will be available online, but people will need to pay to download the book.<\/p>\n

\u201cI speak under correction, but this historical e-book will be a first for Humansdorp and it can be used as a book of remembrance for years to come,\u201d said Phyllis.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
