Saartjie's Survivors (Paperback)

The contents of the book were written in the author’s late teen years until the age of 21. It contains the stories of different men, women and children from different specs of life.

The book has encounters that tackle the themes of culture, relationships, religion, racism, career and death. Some of the text is written in isiZulu. There is a notable reference to the Bible in the book. These stories are the events of women and men sold out by Africa for some promised gain that could or could not materialize in exchange for our livelihood, just like Miss Baartman.

The selected title was awarded based on the contents of the book and the known history of the late Miss Sara ‘Saartjie’ Baartman. Little is known about her factually, even her official death date has been contested by various parties. This book is about her and for her from her survivors, us the people. The cover photo reflects how those who we are not seen and hidden but not protected by the responders of 10111. The crown and red cross on the shoulder all contribute to the text within the book.

Although in the form of poetry and essays, some of the content may be a tad too graphic for readers younger than 14 but older teenagers are encouraged to read the book.
