The Life and Times of Maria Madira Shika

  1. Feedback is helpful. I got some today from Peter Bayer who asked what the point of the story was...
    I think in hindsight it was to show both the negative and positive aspects of this entrenched profession in South Africa.
    Positive hopefully from the point of view that a lady from an older generation -who has no formal education has a chance to earn a living, and negative from the point of view that migrant labour in sense persists in our country as is visible through Maria's fractured and dislocated life. I am hoping at least the the sense of journeying from one place to another has shown this??
