Nkosi and his Dog Duma: An African Story

By Mr Shane Pace

Nkosi, a ten-year-old boy growing up on a struggling Eastern Cape farm in South Africa dreams of a different future despite his father's belief that his place is on the land. After a terrifying encounter with a leopard, his beloved dog Duma is gravely injured but saved by Nkosi's mother, who once studied to be a veterinarian. Inspired, Nkosi begs to learn to read and write, determined to one day save animals himself. His persistence eventually convinces his father to send him to school, far away in Cape Town. As he prepares to leave everything he knows, including Duma, he faces both excitement and heartache, stepping into an uncertain but hopeful future.
