    "I have respect and honour for Hlungwani's unique way of seeing things and expressing them through his creativity. He takes elements known to everybody and attaches his mythological religious meaning that is integrated with cultural favour,"1, indicated Ruth Sack during my video interview with her on the 27/06/2003 at New Town (Johannesburg). Ruth is a professional artist and the Director of the Imbali Literacy Art Project in Johannesburg. She visited Jackson Hlungwani at New Jerusalem in 1998 with a group of artists from Johannesburg. During her visit she found that BMW (South Africa), in agreement with Hlungwani, had removed all the sculptures from New Jerusalem. The sculptures were sold through exhibitions. Some were bought by art museums while others were sold privately both locally and abroad.
