It is South Africa, February 1990. Syabonga and his uncle work at the home of a wealthy white family. They get regular wages, but they have to work long hours and they sleep in a miserable shack. Things have always been like this, for as long as Syabonga can remember. But tomorrow Nelson Mandela, the great black leader, will be released from prison. Maybe, at last, Syabonga's people will get their freedom...It is complete with timeline and glossary.
