This is the continuation of what was started last week: a weekly delivery of parts of an unfinished novel, telling of a boy’s first weeks at high school, in the mid-‘60s, and meeting a girl, Natalie, there.

I was watching Isibaya a few weeks ago before I left South Africa. One of the characters had organized for […]
Wat ‘n voorreg om in ‘n spasie te skep, dink, trap waar hy bestaan het. As ‘n bruin vrou, wie net so oud soos die demokrasie van Suid-Afrika is, ‘n demokrasie wat hy help inlei het, besef ek die gewig van hierdie geleentheid.
