Publisher: African Perspectives, South Africa
A South African post-freedom tragi-comedy
The community of Edladleni strives to come to terms with itself in
post-freedom South Africa as they swim against the tide of the survival
imperative and myriad of thwarted expectations. The journeys of
characters embody a tussle with the slide from deprivation” xenophobia,
crime, disintegration of the family unit, alienation from self and
community, negativity, and self-corroding bitterness. Yet even in the
depths of despair redemption remains possible in the resort to
Ubuntu-human values, community spirit and environmental activism.
