Hotstix sipho mabuse school 20120730

South African musician, Sipho 'Hotstix' Mabuse, 60, attends class in a school in Soweto on April 25, 2012. On week nights, Sipho is in a second-storey classroom near his Soweto home working to earn a high school degree that he abandoned in 1969 as his music career took off. In a country where the public education system struggles, Mabuse decided against one of Johannesburg's posh private schools or a personal tutor, and simply signed up for the government's adult education classes.
