Pula’s story encapsulates many aspects current generations grapple with within post-apartheid South Africa: the past and the Struggle’s impact on our parents; our present and how we negotiate the expectations of family, their love and tensions; and finally, how our children view their future against this backdrop.
In this feel-good but insightful coming of age story, writer Lereko Mfono teases out the tension between old and the new generations, of what came before and what we dream of the future.
Our heroine of Little Fist, Big Heart! embodies the youth that stands on the shoulders of those who came before them to dream more daringly than ever before.
