Together with The Rijksmuseum, the Thami Mnyele Foundation, organised a program to give Simangaliso Sibiya the opportunity to reflect on the exhibition 'Good Hope' which is currently running till May 21 2017. In this exhibition The Rijksmuseum is presenting the first mayor show about the relationship between South Africa and the Netherlands: 400 years of emotive history in 300 items, most of which come from South Africa.
