Cairo; Breaking the Barriers

Heart of Cairo, Tahrir Square

Cairo, the largest metropolitan area in Africa, was the focal point of the 2011 Egyptian Revolution against former president Hosni Mubarak with over 2 million protesters at Tahrir Square. Despite the revolution being predominantly peaceful, it was not without violent clashes between the police, the military forces and protesters. At least 846 people were killed and 6,000 injured.

 The Maxhosa Knitwear illustrates exactly that!

A work of heart
