Seun

In Seun Dana Snyman shares the part of his story he has never talked about: his experiences in the 1980s. This is the time of PW Botha’s fist, of the Voëlvry tour, AWB rallies, negotiations and the last days of conscription. Dana is dishonourably discharged from the army, but first he pays a visit to Hall 24. This raw, self-revealing memoir asks: how does a boy become a man? A boy who can’t get a girl’s attention? A boy not good enough for the army? Seun is a poignant account of growing up in the deathly throes of a political system, of masculinity and honour, and of the love that ultimately conquers all.
