It shows that Kiernan’s voice, his spirit, and his message are still alive and resonating. For me, it’s a reminder that even though he’s no longer here, his art continues to move people and carry the South African flag far and wide. It makes me proud, but also deeply grateful to the Megacy for keeping his legacy alive,” she said.
