You Will Not Die is a diverse and emotionally charged body of work,
documenting the joys, pain, confusion and hope experienced by Nakhane
in recent years.
Nakhane was born in Alice and grew up in Port Elizabeth, South Africa, in
a deeply religious community. His upbringing ignited his love of music and
unlocked his flair for performance, yet also taught him shame that has
proved difficult to rid himself of. “When I was Christian and prayed to God
everyday, I had only hatred for myself,” Nakhane says. “Every day of my
life, I was doing all I possibly could to be like everyone else, to be
heterosexual. I was even convinced I would be able to ‘heal’ my
homosexuality. I was living in constant fear; controlling myself at all
times.”
