Mdantsane remains the second biggest township after Soweto in South Africa. I have been working among the downtrodden and trauma affected people at the Cecilia Makiwane Hospital in Mdantsane since last twenty years. This collection of poems and illustrations are the result of this impact and is the first of its kind from this township. Mdantsane Breathing is a portrayal of a brave black community fighting against all odds for a better life in modern South Africa.
