I in me is an autobiography of a popular South African musician, Steve Kekana, who became blind at the age of five. The book is written through a first person narrative to capture the emotions and experiences that Steve has gone through in his life as a blind person. He focuses on many stages of his life: attending school at Siloe school for the blind, which was an escape from humiliations in his community where blind people were stigmatised on a daily basis.
This book traces the history of the Soul Brothers, a popular South African mbaqanga group that was formed in 1975.
