Artsworld features South African writer and performance poet Lesego Rampolokeng, who is known for being outspoken on sensitive political issues.
With the recent xenophobic attacks in South Africa and election violence elsewhere on the continent, Lesego has no shortage of ammunition for his sharp tongue.
Plus a top London art gallery, famous for its collection of Old Masters, believes art can help young people turn away from street crime, gang culture and drugs.
Dulwich Picture Gallery is offering youngsters from tough inner-city areas the chance to discover their potential as artists.
Artsworld reports on one teenage boy from an unsafe part of the city and what it means to have a safe place to paint.

I love the sensitivity of Lesego Rampolokeng. He's right in every way in my perspective. And he's poems can be turned into really passionate world music. Imagine a Afro-cuban rhythm with a twist of Caribbean. And his performances are weird however with the sense of his sensitive expression and interpretation. It really depends on how we see it. The dance with the chair is such a combination!
