"There is no true social revolution without the liberation of women. May my eyes never see and my feet never take me to a society where half the people are held in silence. I hear the roar of women's silence. I sense the rumble of their storm and feel the fury of their revolt." ― Thomas Sankara, Women's Liberation and the African Freedom Struggle) 
This story starts in the mid-'70s when South Africa was experiencing democratic change; it mainly focuses on the challenges that women faced, from not being considered economically valuable to not being provided equal opportunities as men to being faced with discrimination, lack of legislation, tribalisation, segregation, and  Domestic issues.

The love of my life- Cause True love never has to hide by asandakhathi

She's lying peacefully on my chest, holding on to my new leather jacket while I walk us up the campus steps and into the staff closet. Relax, I only have the keys because I'm friends with one of the department cleaners. I'm not much of a socialite so I spend my lunch breaks in here rather then the canteen like regular students. I lay her down on the only cushioned sofa that could fit into this tiny room. With my parents being social workers, home is far too crowded with people in need of help that I prefer sleeping in this place sometimes. There aren't any windows so she should feel safe. I close us in and wait until she gains conscious. Her eyes blink as I look into them, she mumbles a few words and after what seems like years, she speaks "where am I? What is this?" I say nothing but stare, I can't help it. She seems to recall what took place a few minutes ago when she decides to speak, "thank you and I'm sorry for taking your money". #Mustread #SA #Africanwriters Author: Asanda Khathi Happy reading!???

Whispers of the Heart by NoluthandoJali6

Lalela Mkhize was once the it-girl of Durban-bold, stylish, and never without a plan. But when life quietly pulls the rug from under her feet, she finds herself back in the rural village she once ran from, carrying nothing but a designer bag full of memories and a fierce determination to stay true to herself. She isn't broken. She isn't looking for savings. She's simply trying to start over-on her own terms. As she reconnects with her roots, bonds with her cousin, and starts to face herself in the silence she once feared, Lalela begins to realize that sometimes the biggest transformation happens when the world stops clapping. She hasn't met him yet the man everyone in the village talks about. That part of the story will come. But for now, this is about her-a woman relearning that losing everything doesn't mean losing yourself.

The Sixth Vow by author_efra

"Friends bound by a promise find their lives turned upside down as love, trust, and secrets test their relationships. Every choice they make brings them closer or threatens to tear them apart."
