This is a narrative of the life experience of an ordinary person
who grew up in the rural areas of Transkei. After learning about
and understanding life according to a purely African world view, he
suffered a cultural shock when he came into contact with the
contradictions of urban life which imposed Western-style
obligations on African people. Ndima's school and university
experiences brought home the realisation that African values were
treated with contempt, as the dominant Western culture was
continuing to bolster white supremacy. After matric, Ndima worked
as a clerk in Port St John's and became involved in solving a
number of labour disputes. While studying law he was subjected to
the animosity his lecturers displayed towards black students. After
graduation, Ndima worked as a prosecutor at the Mqanduli district
court and later became a magistrate in various districts of the
Transkei. As presiding officer, he discovered the wealth of
diversity in the various cultural groupings in the territory and
learnt to understand the feelings of detained, arrested, accused,
convicted and imprisoned people and their relatives, and the impact
of these events on their home life and on their personalities.The
author's personal history and his experience gained as a magistrate
form the basis for the insights that directed him in handling the
cases over which he presided.
