The Invisible Boy From Bramble Way (Paperback)

Against an authoritarian backdrop of Apartheid’s racial discrimination and the legacy of forced removals, Anwar Mc Kay is born into Islam, the youngest of three boys.

Labelled a ‘moffie’ (South African slur for gay), this boy from Bramble Way gets buried alive under the weight of emotional violence targeted at him from members of his own community in Bonteheuwel on the Cape Flats, rendering him invisible and voiceless.

Anwar is Tyra’s cherished last born and she dotes on him. After being abandoned by his father at the age of two, it is his mother Tyra who becomes his only glimmer of hope.  Through the power of a resilient personality and never-say-die attitude against enormous odds, Anwar manages to overcome his childhood descent into emotional disorders.

As destiny would have it, Anwar – who once felt most invisible – married one of South Africa’s most visible and beloved comedians, Marc Lottering, and lives a very public life today.

The Invisible Boy from Bramble Way is a story of hope, inspiration, dignity and the power of the human spirit.
