This book made me reflect a lot on the xenophobia in South Africa as a South African and the experiences people have trying to find a better life here. It made me so sad over how much people need to struggle just to have a fair chance in life.
This book follows the lives of Zimbabweans coming into South Africa illegally and their experiences here. Some find gold, some don't. The stories are often sad.
