Additional quotes by Nokukhanya Bhengu

My father made us work very hard, we woke up every morning at half past four. We took the cattle out into the fields. Then we ran to school. We had no time for breakfast.

Eight of us had no money for fees. We did work for the school. After school we cut the grass and washed pots. Early in the morning we helped to bake the bread. The other students were still asleep. That’s how I got my Iittle education.
