Donki ko lo football jersey is the fanagalo name for a Zebra.  I have always found it aptly descriptive. Fanagalo is the linga franca language used in the South African mines, composed of frequently corrupted elements of the Nguni, English and Afrikaans languages.

Zebra’s have always had a very specific significance for me.  When I dream of them I think of a dear friend and when I think of her I think of Zebra’s.  She has been on my mind a lot lately, so I guess it is not surprising that I was drawn to painting this Zebra…. 🙂
