He describes her as a secretive, rebellious, and rough presence, and recalls the dark day when she chased him and he was hit by a car: she disappeared hours later and returned only a decade later, ill. By this time Sobekwa had become a photographer and realized the family had no picture of her: ‘One day I saw this beautiful light coming in through the window shining on her face. I lifted up the camera to catch the moment and she shot me an evil look and said: “Stop! If you take that picture I’m going to kill you!” So I lowered my camera. I still wish I had taken the shot.’ Ziyanda died soon after.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEmploying a scrapbook aesthetic with handwritten notes,\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cem\u003eI carry Her photo with Me\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eis a means for Sobekwa to engage both with the memory of his sister and the wider implications of such disappearances – a troubling part of South\u003cimg\u003e\u003cimg\u003e Africa’s history.
