Journey To Jo`burg

This is the story of love, commitment and the flowering of the human spirit against the background of South Africa`s apartheid. Frightened that their baby sister Dineo will die, thirteen-year-old Naledi and her younger brother Tiro run away from their grandmother to Johannesburg to find their mother, who works there as a maid. Their journey illustrates at every turn the grim realities of apartheid – the pass laws, bantustans, racism, the breakdown of family life. The opulence of the white “Madam`s” house contrasts starkly with the reality that Naledi and Tiro face – that their baby sister is suffering from starvation, not an incurable disease. This new edition of Beverley Naidoo`s classic story includes a special “Why You`ll Love This Book” introduction by Michael Rosen, the Children`s Laureate.
