The Memoir About Nothing: At the heart of Soweto, life is lived and stories are told.

by DYONDZO KWINIKA

'There's beauty in my struggles... May I find liberation through telling my story...'

Dyondzo writes:

'My mother woke up at 4:30, snoozed until 4:45, and prepared for work hurriedly; complaining about being exhausted. She then woke me up around 5:30, so I could walk with her to catch a taxi under a notorious bridge on the M70. I cherished every moment of walking her to catch a taxi there-breathing the fresh air and feeling my ears and hands becoming numb on that cold morning.
As she recalled the harsh realities of most Black women living in South Africa, she said, 'This place used to be dangerous for women. A young girl was once raped and brutally murdered here.' I felt a sense of responsibility and pride that I could take care of my mother, which was a victory. It also allowed us to talk about everything, except my failed relationships and love interests. She is not the best at advising about relationships anyway. I hope she does not read into this sentence.'
