This article presents the profile of various celebrities who have settled in South Africa. Jerrod Pope has walked the catwalk for top designers in Paris and landed major modelling jobs in Italy, Holland and Japan, but for the last six years, he's enjoyed considerable success living and working in a place that he never anticipated: South Africa. Like the rest of South Africa, the nation's fashion industry seems to have transformed itself overnight. The national drive to recreate and revitalize South Africa has reached new heights in the past couple of years. Foreign and domestic investment are up, property values are skyrocketing and creative fields like design, publishing and filmmaking are booming. Harlem native Judyie Al-Bilali first arrived in South Africa in 2002 as a visiting performing artist from the University of Massachusetts. She worked in Johannesburg and Cape Town, two of South Africa's largest cities, and loved the experience so much that she applied for a fellowship to enable her to return. Encouraged by the university, Al-Bilali launched Brown Paper Studio, a performing arts space where she urged her students to write down their dreams and memories on wrapping paper that covered the walls.
