Sand sculptor seeks home near Fish Hoek Beach
False Bay Echo
|June 12, 2025
A self-taught sand artist who travels from Gordon's Bay to Fish Hoek Beach is looking for accommodation closer to where he now regularly creates his sculptures.
Lanele Xaba, also known as John English, began sculpting with sand at the age of nine.
“I love designing, and with sand I don’t need materials — it costs nothing,” he said.
Mr Xaba travels from Gordon's Bay before 6am to reach Fish Hoek Beach, using public transport.
The return trip is a combination of train and taxi rides that can cost him more than R70 a day. He and his wife, Nxolo, currently rent a room in a shared house in Gordon’s Bay for R2 500 a month.
He said they are hoping to relocate to Fish Hoek after his wife was assaulted on a beach in Gordon’s Bay a few months ago.
