This is a collection of my memories growing up in rural Ntabankulu , rosy Kwa-Thema and subsequently, the semi-township of Joe Slovo , Port Elizabeth . In the form of what can be deemed journal entries , I tell wild tales about chickens, robbing blind women , losing a grade 3 report to a fictional Umzimvubu river flood and getting entangled in a pentecostal bible study cult.
