Woza is a very ambitious, highly intelligent student, who is in his final year at school, and determined to follow his brother’s example and go to university in the UK. Temperamental, idealistic and passionate, there are many pitfalls on the road to success, as he provokes the hostility of the headmaster and the jealousy of less able colleagues. Finally they get the better of him and Woza has to try and adapt either to a world he despises – a world of poverty and underprivilege – to a world where traditional customs and values prevail
