"We came out demonstrating on a cold, wintry morning. But the
authorities wouldn't have it. They set police dogs on us. They
panel-beat us with batons. They sprayed us with teargas. They came
out shooting. Army tanks roared down the streets like angry hippos.
The contest was too uneven. We retreated in panic, leaving the
ground strewn with casualties from both sides. We couldn't match
them stone to bullet."
This important historical novel, first
published in 1982 and later banned by the apartheid regime, is now
available for literature study at school. It tells, with piercing
authenticity, the story of the 1976 Soweto uprising.
Mzamane has
created a set of characters whose courage, humour and imperfections
fi ll the pages of this book and carry the reader forward on the
rising tide of resistance. The novel is accompanied by notes and
classroom activities.
