Tsholofelo Lehaha, In the midst of the womb

I taught myself that a South African woman does not carry her baby with a kitenge. That I stay in a township, that there were Sangomas and not Kimbanguism… I got used to the fact that my bible was my bible. God was God, that I had that home.
Tsholofelo Lehaha, In the midst of the womb
