Cape Town-based musician and children’s rights proponent Shen Winberg is changing lives, one note at a time

When Shen Winberg reflects on the first decade of his life, it’s not the angst of years spent in hiding that he first recalls. Not the endless relocation from safe house to safe house. Or the distress that must have come with having two parents on the National Party’s hit list. Rather, it’s the sense of solidarity that surrounded him. The drive to stand for something. And the music. ‘We were always on the move, and music was the only constant,’ he reminisces. ‘We’d get in the car and press play, get to our next stop and turn on the radio.’
