Book set in Mbabane, Swaziland. Reviewed on 2020/01: https://www.instagram.com/p/B63K5_DgNyn/
Busisiwe, Eczema, Eniy, Inyanga, Jabulile, Nhlangano, Nomsa, Sifiso, Thami, Thoko, Zwane. Say their names! The #women of #mbabane , the women of #swaziland, the women of #eswatini , the women of #southernafrica . They are up in arms and ready for the battle against not only #hiv , #aids decimating their communities. It’s also the battle against the winds of #stigma , #ignorance and #corruptionpropagating the flames of the consuming virus. These women are visionary in their struggle. Unlike the men in the story, they are able to see what’s really behind this calamity afflicting their communities. The men in the story (and all too similar to the men in positions of power today!) are only interested in immediate and flashy actions which only serve to maintain their hold on power, and distract our attention. These women are interested in both the root causes and the long-term vision which will allow them to really win, not only this battle, but the final struggle as a whole. #recommended #plays#africaworldpress #thenewtoyitoyi#toyitoyi #swazi #siketi#ChinyereGraceOkafor #Okafor#swaziliterature #playwright
