Looking for your next read that speaks to your journey? These three new books by bold South African voices will challenge the way you see the world – and yourself.  

The Smallest Ones  by Popina Khumanda is a harrowing and powerful account of survival and resilience. It takes readers on a journey through the darkest corners of human experience, yet it is also a testament to the enduring power of hope and the will to survive. This is not just a story of tragedy, but an exploration of the human spirit’s capacity to endure and overcome. 

I Am Tshiamo by Tshiamo Modisane is as admirable as it is affirming. This poignant memoir examines past hurts and present truths, opening up a sorely needed discussion about unconditional acceptance.  

Preacher, Let My People Go  by Zakhe Mazibuko is a bold journey into the heart of giving. Honest, unfiltered and timely, it’s a must-read for anyone questioning the structures around them.
