About this book:

Fifty years after the Soweto uprising, little is known about its most iconic leader, the elusive Tsietsi Mashinini, who instigated the schools’ protest that changed South Africa forever, only to flee the country, shun the ANC, share a house with Miriam Makeba, marry Miss Liberia – and be mysteriously murdered. Now, in time for the anniversary, respected author Sam Mathe – with the support of the Mashinini family – tells Tsietsi’s full story for the first time.
