Native Boy

Part memoir, part historical and social commentary, Native Boy is an eye-opening journey through Apartheid and democratic South Africa.

Anchored in Thabo’s hometown of Heidelberg, Gauteng – the birthplace of Eugene Terre’Blanche’s AWB – Native Boy illuminates the joys, pains and lessons of a childhood lived in the dying years of Apartheid. The book traces the events and transitions of the first twenty-four years of his life – from escaping indentured farm life and becoming a proud Kasie boy, his first encounters with other races and first loves to the complexities of young adulthood’s toxic friendships and the challenges of attaining higher education.
