someone had to take action and not shrink from the responsibility to advance the cause of our people - 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.

But I very much wanted to be a teacher

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.
