In fact Jethro is  a poet and a former Western Province athlete. He writes and performs in English  and Afrikaans. For the last few years he has been performing both solo and as  part of the Khoi Khollektif. The Khollektif is a group of musicians and poets  gathered under their Khoisan heritage and desire to rewrite the disturbed  representation of the Bushmen people and their culture. The Khollektif includes  Garth Erasmus, Loit Sôls, and Leslie Javan. Jethro has achieved high  acclaim in Cape Town, recording and releasing as part of the Wondergigs live  recording series in 2002, featuring on various Cape Town Festival stages and at  poetry events such as Urban Voices. He is regularly invited by government to  perform at events relating to arts, culture and language - he was a feature of  the 2002 World Trade Summit in Johannesburg. During the era of the Monday night  poetry sessions – at Café Camissa and then at Papa’s – Jethro established  himself as one of the city’s most compelling voices. Jethro loves to walk. One year he walked from Cape Town to  Grahamstown to perform on the street and sell self-produced copies of his  poetry. He regularly walks home to Kalkfontein from the city centre, a distance  of some 35 minutes by car from the City. The walking, he says, provides good  time to get inside Cape Town lifestyles. To think and compose  poetry. Jethro  hosts the Coffee Beans Route in Kalkfontein, a tourism initiative that seeks to  uplift the Kalkfontein community. It is creating jobs, not only in tourism but  in other sectors too. Jethro’s poetry is at the centre of this initiative.
