Description
Mapule, a young and beautiful albino girl escapes death after a guy sent to kill her spares her life and subsequently saves her from other hitmen. Together with the guy, Nyamanyama, they run away from the village and find refuge in a forest outside Khayelitsha in the Western Cape. Nyamanyama is sought by the police in connection with the incident that happened in the village. After spending close to six months together in the forest, Mapule develops feelings for Nyamanyama and their affair blossoms. After their return to the village, Nyamanyama and his boss are arrested. Later on Mapule discovers that she's pregnant with his child. Their affair ends after she moves to Cape Town with her father just after her mother's death. A lot of disturbing things happen while Nyamanyama is in prison and many years later they reunite after his release.Based on the real-life stories of the lives of albinotic people and those living in poverty, this story by the aspiring writer, Nceba Oscar Tyobeka, highlights the plight of albinotic people and that of the poorest of the poor. It encourages people to refrain from blaming others for their current situations. It also squashes the myth surrounding albinos and their body parts. Nceba Tyobeka clearly shows that there are always consequences for committing crime, despite the conditions people find themselves in.
