Following hospitalization, I was now free from screams and hallucinations. My parents were still not satisfied. They consulted a traditional healer, who adviced them to move me from Alexandra to the village. According to her, the move would help me to be completely healed.
In 1953, I was sent to Ga-Molepo, Pietersburg, in the Sekuto rural area. My grandmother and my grandfather welcomed me. My elder brother Job and my cousin Albert stayed with them also.
Albert was raised by my grandparents because his mother worked as a domestic worker in Pretoria. n His father was an Indian man, Tayob, from Marabastad, Pretoria.
My grandmother used to cut Albert's growing hair because children at school used to be astonished by his long black silky hair. We attended school at St Theresea.
In 1953, I did Standard 3, Grade 5. My class teacher was Mr Mashiane. We walked to school every morning. We went over the Sekuto Mountain. Albert was not happy to see me...
