"Dolly believed that she was stalked from Zimbabwe via South Africa to Bournemouth in the United Kingdom, what was she smoking?
I am sitting at the back seat of a police car taking me to Bournemouth police station in England and wondering about the direction my life is taking. Running from the police was not the right thing to do - it doesn't take a genius to figure that out. Thirty weeks pregnant and running a heptathlon, what kind of woman does that? The short woman with puppy eyes is turning me into Olympian Jessica Ennis! Am I pregnant of a human or animal?
Who knows what happened that night at the Limpopo River, as I lay unconscious. Male genitals were written all over the back of the hyena looking after its cubs. So, who knows, it could have made me pregnant! The police lock me in a cell saying I could choose to be seen by female officers only. They also inform me that a psychiatrist will see me soon.
The alarm bells start ringing! I saw a witch doctor to avoid seeing a psychiatrist, but his concoction has delivered me into the hands of a psychiatrist. A few days ago my uncle told me that my mother was discharged from hospital, but she was still in a vegetative state. I wish she were here and tell them that I am not insane. While still feeling sorry for myself, the police return and lead me into a room to meet a psychiatrist.
A white short bald man, five foot five or so, introduces himself as Dr. Whitehead, the psychiatrist. He has a hairless scalp, save for a street tree like thin line of hair on each side of the scalp running through the back of his head. He flattens the thin hair over his naked scalp. There is no hint that once upon a time there was healthy hair at the center of his head. I feel intimidated by his thin hairline. Does he keep it to distract his patients so that they don't pay attention to his questions in order to find a reason to lock them up in hospital? He has two companions - a male GP and a woman social worker; both are white."
"It’s 2008 and the height of Zimbabwe’s economic demise. A group of passengers is huddled in a Toyota Quantum about to embark on a treacherous expedition to the City of Gold. Amongst them is Gugulethu, who is hoping to be reconciled with her mother; Dumisani, an ambitious young man who believes he will strike it rich, Chamunorwa and Chenai, twins running from their troubled past; and Portia and Nkosi, a mother and son desperate to be reunited with a husband and father they see once a year.
They have paid a high price for the dangerous passage to what they believe is a better life; an escape from the vicious vagaries of their present life in Bulawayo. In their minds, the streets of Johannesburg are paved with gold but they will have to dig deep to get close to any gold, dirtying themselves in the process.
Told with brave honesty and bold description, the stories of the individual immigrants are simultaneously heart-breaking and heart-warming."
""My interest in this area of study is based on my strong belief that people are born equal but different. It is a belief that equity across gender, race, social class and sexual orientation will be attained in my lifetime."
Equal but Different is based on my doctoral thesis, which investigated the intersection of race, gender, and social class in women leaders' career progression. The women leaders came up with strategies for gender transformation at leadership level. The audiobook presents life stories of women leaders in South Africa and abroad and men who believe in gender equality and have contributed toward this goal. The common thread across the life stories of women who contributed to the audiobook are:
A message from family that said ''you can be anything that you set your mind to be''.
Supportive men who sponsored and mentored them.
Pursuit of education.
Determination to succeed.
Your initial social class should not determine the person you become. Though the lower your initial social class is, the harder you have to work to achieve your ambitious dreams.
This audiobook is relevant for people across gender, race, and social class who want advice on personal strategies and tactics to succeed; leaders who want to be inclusive, with an empowerment agenda for minorities; mentors across gender; and corporate and government leaders who are committed to transformation."
