Reviews

"A better role model, truer patriot and son of the soil I can hardly imagine" - Justice Dikgang Moseneke. "An extraordinary rags-to-riches tale that straddles the apartheid era and post-democratic South Africa, embracing all the elements of a good story - suspense, romance, fun and victory over sometimes crippling adversity." - The Star
