November Monthly Book Discussion

Join us as we discuss "On The Stage Of Time" book. It is a powerful memoir by Sikose Mji, tracing her journey from a brave schoolgirl in the 1970s to a freedom fighter, exile, and later a diplomat. Through underground ANC activism, international solidarity, and military training with Umkhonto We Sizwe, she navigates personal loss, resilience, and the fight against apartheid. Her story also highlights the struggles women face in a patriarchal society, offering a deeply human look at transformation and courage.
