Recordist's notes
The terrace of the BAT centre. Overlooking Durban's port. Jazz form the Cafe Bar. And April's elections in South Africa approaching. The Durban poet, writer and activist Faith ka-Manzi talks about her vision of complete freedom and her wish for political education of young people. Attitudes of "don't say a word!" are lingering not only in old township stories; which, none the less, she also tells. Faith ka-Manzi has been engaged in numerous political campaigns and is particularly concerned about issues of gender and sexual rights.
