The Art of Resilience: Remembering Duma Mgqoki's Legacy The College of Magic in Cape Town has long been a beacon for those seeking to transcend their harsh realities.
This school, where magic is not just a conjurer's trick but a way of life, attracts students from diverse backgrounds and circumstances. Among them was Duma Mgqoki, whose story we heard about during our visit in 2022.
Duma's path to the College of Magic was marked by hardship. Growing up in a community plagued by gang violence, he witnessed firsthand the devastating effects of trauma and poverty.
