The school Master
(The School Master)

by Jean DEBELKE

An elderly Engela relates how she discovered that she was not white but coloured in South Africa in 1948, the year when formalised apartheid was born. Her story reveals the contrast between the attractive young girl with everything to hope for and the old woman, defeated by factors over which she has no control.
