Andy paints the story of the Ahakeye, known as the bush plum in English and also referred to as the native currant or citrus. This story holds great significance for Andy as it is deeply rooted in his country. The songs, dances and symbols have been passed down to him from his father. Andy is the son of the renowned artist Kathleen Ngale (dec) and Motorbike Paddy, and his sister, Elizabeth Mpetyane, is also a painter.
