Winner of the 2013 Maskew Miller Longman Literature Awards in the language category isiXhosa. There is nothing that Bhasophu, Sithembele’s father, did not do to warn his son against drug abuse. It was clear that Sithembele was getting deeper into the habit. Who could argue with such an arrogant person who listened only to his drug-addicted friends? The question is will he eventually untangle himself from this web? Will he come out victorious in this battle?
