Athol Fugard's only novel, Tsotsi, is a powerful and turbulent story set in the 1950s. A Sophiatown gangster, Tsotsi stalks the streets, leaving pain and terror in his wake. Dangerous and deprived, he treats life as it has always treated him, until a chance encounter brings about a strange redemption

Reneiloe Nduna Read this as a prescribed book in high school and went on to reread it later on in life and my sentiments for this one still stand. Tsotsi is a well-written book chronicling the events that occur during a three-day crisis in the life of a young man whose life has been shaped by the socio-economic conditions in 1950s South Africa. This book is more than just a redemption story, but it also confronts the political issues of South Africa.
