His Story is History

How many doors have been slammed in one's face in this world? How many doors does one find closed? Yet, while wasting time in front of a closed door, other doors are waiting to be opened. Told in fascinating detail, this memoir is a chronicle of the fight against poverty towards a life of achievement. Having endured a lifetime of struggle, from childhood on into his adult life, Tlou Setumu shares with readers a personal account of his rural and urban experiences in South Africa. Not one to shy away from asking deep-seated questions, Setumu explores the myth that poverty and rural life are synonymous. He looks for answers to this human quandary in a broader context of human existence, not accepting the condition as a given. The book shows how he ended up playing a valuable role in the preservation of heritage in South Africa's Limpopo Province. In spearheading the development of heritage, Setumu has left a personal legacy which stands as an example to his community.
