Leskey Mduduzi Cele has always had a fascination with words. He diligently wrote about things happening in his life from childhood. He has now drawn these short stories, snapshots of his life, into this book.
It tells the story of a young boy from the backwaters of KwaZulu-Natal as he makes his way through life in a rapidly changing country and world. A country initially in the throes of apartheid emerging into a democracy at the other end. A story which begins in the dusty streets of Sobantu and Edendale outside Pietermaritzburg in the late ’60s, moving to Ulundi and Dlangezwa in northern KZN in the mid-to-late ’70s; a story which takes Leskey to Limpopo as a university student in the turbulent ’80s and to his life now as a professor, father and a husband.
