I Am a Man

By (author): Jerry Mofokeng wa Makhetha. Veteran South African actor Dr Jerry Mofokeng wa Makhetha recounts a lifelong sense of not belonging — he didn't resemble his siblings, and at age 58 finally uncovered the identity of his biological father, recontextualising a childhood spent feeling like an outsider. Alongside this search for identity, the memoir covers his decades-long acting career, his marriage and family life, and his reflections on masculinity, told with a mix of humour and poignancy.
