“I was not interested in men, But then I met this young teacher from Groutville. After eight months I knew that I wanted to share my life with this man.”

“Eight of us had no money for fees. We did work for the school. After school we cut the grass and washed pots. Early in the morning we helped to bake the bread. The other students were still asleep. That’s how I got my Iittle education.”

“But I very much wanted to be a teacher”

“After school we had more work to do. We had to clean the yard and fetch water from the river. The Umngeni river was a mile away.”

“My father made us work very hard, we woke up every morning at half past four. We took the cattle out into the fields. Then we ran to school. We had no time for break­fast.”
