This visit was on invitation by the provincial minister for Cultural Affairs and Sport, Ricardo Mackenzie.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Olivier, whose workshop is based in Kensington, says while he was reluctant to visit, he is now reluctant to leave.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The artworks were part of a Mandela legacy project and were installed in the entry of RLabs on Thursday 19 September.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Olivier is a global award winning artist, with some of his work featured in Dubai, Italy and the United States of America (USA).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>RLabs CEO, Christine Taphel says they have always tried to create an art-immersive environment, featuring the works of both emerging and established local artists. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cArt has always been part of what we do,\u201d says Taphel. \u201cThis is the cherry on the top because it shows the people that they are art dignified.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Mackenzie says when he met with Olivier he took him around several places in Mitchells Plain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div contenteditable=\"false\" data-embed24=\"Images\" data-pos=\"middle\" id=\"embed_04c0a8aa\">\n<div class=\"slide\"><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\" data-smallsrc=\"https:\/\/cdn.24.co.za\/files\/Cms\/General\/d\/12239\/6d168652c513455aadee530e1acacbcd.jpg\" src=\"https:\/\/novanews.co.za\/peoplespost\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/2d7befc7327347d4b4d5051d41c95fe2.jpg\" title=\"Staff of RLabs enjoyed celebrating the installation of the artworks with the artist and minister of cultural affairs and sport.\"><p><\/p>\n<div class=\"caption\">Staff of RLabs enjoyed celebrating the installation of the artworks with the artist and minister of cultural affairs and sport.<\/div>\n<div class=\"img_accreditation\"><span class=\"source\" style=\"display:none;\"><\/span><span class=\"photographer\" style=\"display:none;\"><\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"slide\"><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\" data-smallsrc=\"https:\/\/cdn.24.co.za\/files\/Cms\/General\/d\/12239\/f346565d45354535b50a902a036a47dc.jpg\" src=\"https:\/\/novanews.co.za\/peoplespost\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/508f1cddb9b944ffb2f400e26ff2732d.jpg\" title=\"Ricardo Mackenzie, provincial minister for cultural affairs and sport, assists with the unwrapping of the almost 2m tall sculpture ahead of its installation. \"><p><\/p>\n<div class=\"caption\">Ricardo Mackenzie, provincial minister for cultural affairs and sport, assists with the unwrapping of the almost 2m tall sculpture ahead of its installation. <\/div>\n<div class=\"img_accreditation\"><span class=\"source\" style=\"display:none;\"><\/span><span class=\"photographer\" style=\"display:none;\"><\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"slide\"><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\" data-smallsrc=\"https:\/\/cdn.24.co.za\/files\/Cms\/General\/d\/12239\/90b974c2a43d49db8c840bac6ad99849.jpeg\" src=\"https:\/\/novanews.co.za\/peoplespost\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/f723e764197842eab5df8d6082ec7347.jpeg\" title=\"Youth attending programmes at RLabs were excited about the installation. \"><p><\/p>\n<div class=\"caption\">Youth attending programmes at RLabs were excited about the installation. <\/div>\n<div class=\"img_accreditation\"><span class=\"source\" style=\"display:none;\"><\/span><span class=\"photographer\" style=\"display:none;\"><\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI met him and discussed what\u2019s happening in Mitchells Plain and I took him and some other artists from Italy around Mitchells Plain, particularly here at RLabs and they were inspired by what\u2019s happening and asked me how they can contribute,\u201d he says.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Mackenzie then visited the Kensington workshop to view the pieces ahead of its installation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Olivier, who will soon travel abroad for more awards nominations, including Italy and Dubai, says he was so inspired by the work of the youth at the centre and wanted to make this donation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWe look at all these young, vibrant minds and souls, we know tomorrow will be better than today.

And we just want to say thank you for your commitment for this beautiful piece that resonates not just a story of hope for us but also your story of hope that shines through Madiba\u2019s
