'This is a highly readable book that makes a significant contribution to social anthropology. As an anthropologist, it was stimulating for me to read an ethnography centred in South Africa that was able to convey the seriousness of the political context, while at the same time bringing the human face of this to the fore. Its ethnographic detail is perhaps one of its finest aspects along with Dlamini's generous descriptions of her role in the wider community. This is an important work that elucidates a rather muddy and neglected area of South African history that could have only been written by someone from the community.'
