Life in a black village in South Africa in the apartheid era - By: , 30 Jul 2001 Having read "The Other Side of Truth" & "No Turning Back" I went on to read "Journey to Jo'Burgh." Like her other novels once you start reading it you cannot put it down. This is a very moving account of life for a typical black family livingin the countryin South Africa during the apartheid years.The baby gets a fever & the older sister & brother, realising the baby is very ill, set off on foot to find their motherin Jo'burgh over 300km away. What happens to them on the journey & subsequently makes a very gripping story. I could not read the book quickly enough as I became so concerned for the welfare of the children. It gives an excellent insight into what an apartheid meant & I would encourage any child as they become aware of human rights to read this. Any adult who like me was too young to realise what was happeningin South Africain the apartheid times needs to read it. I would like to visit South Africa now.
