Sanlam Prize for Youth Literature 2002 (Silver)

Client: Tafelberg Publishers

Leba Seipone, one of three silver prize winners, is the modern day story of a teenage boy experiences in a racially divided South Africa. In fact, much of the story takes place at a school which was in the news not so long ago because of racial tension which culminated in white parents assaulting black kids.

The boy's dilemma is that he's half black, half white, and is rejected by all races. The title is Setswana for "Look in the Mirror".
