Beschreibung
'When we moved from the farm, my mother was concerned about my survival. How would her youngest child survive township life; how would he transform from a maplazini to an urban township boy?Thabo Abram Molefe was just six years old when he and his family left their tenancy on a Boschfontein farm. Their destination: a vacant stand in the vibrant, multi-ethnic, rambling Ratanda township just south of Heidelberg, Transvaal the birthplace of Eugene Terre'Blanche's AWB. To his new neighbours, Molefe is and always will be a 'maplazini', Sesotho for 'sumb country bumpkin'. It is a nickname he works to overcome as he journeys towards adulthood and further education, far beyond the apartheid regime's agenda to forever limit the black man to a life of hardship. Funny, moving, heartbreaking and heartwarming: Native Boy is an illuminating memoir of a young black man's search for identity, set against the backdrop of a country in the throes of political transition.
