The Crowing of the Roosters is a remakable modern day tale of South Africa's former apartheid regime and one black woman's struggle to free herself from its chains. When Nomfusi Yekani sets her mark at the polling station in Somerset West during the country's historic first and free elections, she is reminded of a life that seems eons ago. Nomfusi takes the reader on a colourful journey back into an Africa of old; a tale that is peppered with culture and traditions, reflecting on a past life that has shaped the woman Nomfusi Yekani has become.
