<blockquote>"The special communicates grand ideas, which is what art is: an artist uses a framework or method to express an idea. When you read about artwork you get to understand that. So, the special first into that. I'm trying to communicate ideas with which I've grappled. I consider 'Unlearning' as a special piece of art."</blockquote><div id="2492d" class="rm-shortcode" data-rm-shortcode-id="fc527bde53ef174c157ff0ede3d68cbf"><blockquote class="instagram-media" data-instgrm-captioned="" data-instgrm-version="4" style=" background:#FFF; border:0;

I've always maintained I have to be honest with myself. I don't talk about what I think will be funny; I talk about what I find funny. I have peculiar ideas when it comes to my comedy. Then, I think about how I can make it accessible to an ordinary human being, I communicate the crazy idea of unlearning but everyone gets it."</blockquote><p>According to the magazine, on <em>Unlearning</em>, the 37-year-old comedian will explore his own experience of maturity and masculinity during apartheid in South Africa.</p><p>The current issue of <em>GQ South Africa</em> is the first under the leadership of the men's lifestyle magazine's new editor in chief, Molife Kumona who took over from Nkosiyati Kumalo.</p><p><em>GQ South Africa</em>'s March/April 2021 issue is on sale now.
