excerpt from Cry, the Beloved Country by Alan Paton

‘Men as old as you are doing it every day, umfundisi. And women, and some that are sick, and children. They start walking at four in the morning, and they do not get back till eight at night. They have a little food, and their eyes are hardly closed before they must stand up again, sometimes to start off again with nothing but hot water in their stomachs. I cannot stop you taking a bus, umfundisi, but this is a cause to fight for. If we lost it, then they will have to pay more in Sophiatown and other places.’
