Podiephatshwa, a loyal BPP

He is an aging politician, who has been left behind by a new generation, and his voice no longer resonates with the same authority it had years ago.Podiephatshwa cuts a lonely figure in his rundown home in Botshabelo location. He cannot identify a figure arriving across his side coffee table, with his eyes behind dimmers, which cover part of his bearded face. He admits that age has caught up with him, his memory is fading and his eyesight, failing.

However, remnants of his vibrancy are still evident. He can still force high-pitched laughter, muster enough energy to narrate his long stories about his stay in South Africa and how he joined a political movement that swept the country at the height of a highly charged political period.
