Jo’burg Man was first shown at the Association for Visual Arts, Cape Town in 2000. The general theme of the show spoke about he power of the individual.

' Jo'burg Man' was selected as one of twenty artworks featured in the 
Johannesburg Art City Project and was reproduced to 
billboard size for display on the side of a building in 
downtown Johannesburg. 
The work also forms part of many private and corporate art collections 
in South Africa, Europe and the United States

. In the context of South Africa's recent history - Jo'burg Man 
celebrates the victory over injustices of the countries past.

 'He strides with pride across the cityscape of Johannesburg at 
the turn of the twentieth century. He has toiled the soil, built our 
city and owns his own identity - An icon of contemporary man 
in a free South Africa.’
