Eskia Online - Awards in Recognition

“The eternal theme – of a victim who hollers from the depths of a pit for the tyrant to lower a ladder for him – just won’t do. We still have to make the transition in our minds, from the status of bleeding victim to that of the proactive initiator who knows what changes he wants.”
Es’kia Mphahlele – 1993
