"This intimate personal story reminds us of humanity's ability to continue with the business of living, that life can be full, fun and meaningful even in times of deprivation, and that it is crucial to keep family legacies alive for the next generation." Karabo K Kgoleng, author of Triangulum

"Razina Theba's A Home on Vorster Street splits your sides, enriches your soul and evokes all the reasons why we love our diversity and who we are." Ronnie Kasrils, author of Armed and Dangerous and Catching Tadpoles
