In a series of postcard vignettes, Molete relates the anecdotes of “back in the day” when he was a child and could get away with just about anything except Mama’s wrath. The beauty of this memoir is that it charts not only the author’s youth – the beatings, the friends, the girls – but also the growth of a township called Soweto. At times amusing, and at other times unsettling, each vignette contains a wealth of atmosphere.
