MEET THE AUTHOR: Athambile Masola on Noni Jabavu

She was described as 'a woman who couldn't be conventional if she tried', and Noni Jabavu (1919-2008) writer was certainly original. Born in SA and educated in the UK from the age of 13 she was also 'a woman of two worlds'. Amongst other things she wrote two books of memoir, but in 1977, she penned a series of columns for the Daily Dispatch. These have been co-ordinated and compiled into a book called A Stranger at Home (Tafelberg) by Makhosazana Xaba and Athambile Masola. Cape Town based Athambile shares the story.
