Simba, the Sea Point beach artist, has brought so much love to his community with his beach creations, often anonymously. After he was revealed as the resident ‘rockstar’ artist, GTG readers united to give him a special gift in light of his other love—reading!
Sea Point, South Africa (15 February 2024) — Simba, the resident ‘rockstar’ artist in Sea Point, got a special surprise from Good Things Guy readers recently—books to help complete his collection of Lucinda Riley’s Seven Sisters series!
This wholesome update comes after Simba, who is homeless, was revealed in January as the creator behind the heartwarming rock art that lights up Sunset Beach in the suburb—a prom walk delight that’s made many a passerby smile.
One of the GTG readers who helped identify Simba and often interacts with him—Lynn Stacey—told Good Things Guy that Simba is an avid reader. She helped get Simba hooked on Lucinda Riley’s Seven Sisters books but, unfortunately, did not have the rest of the books to complete the collection.
GTG reader Igna De Villiers responded to the call per our last article on Simba with three more books; gifted to Simba recently. A lover of the community even with the little he has, Lynn also gave him some cat pellets as Simba is serious about feeding feral cats. Further, Simba has shared that once he finishes the books he intends to donate them to the CAFDA Bookshop in Sea Point for another reader to fall in love with the series.
“I wish you could’ve seen his face. He absolutely totally couldn’t believe it and was absolutely over the moon to receive them.”
Should anyone have the final 3 books in the series, please contact ashleigh@goodthingsguy.com.
