Zukiswa Wanner: Fiction, power, and a voyage to Gaza
Zukiswa Wanner’s fiction is rooted in real life—where race, gender, class, and power are lived experiences shaping her characters. She reflects on a recent humanitarian voyage toward Gaza, carrying basic supplies and a message of dignity and solidarity, which became the basis for a deeply personal, reflective book. Her public life and creative work are inseparable, and her writing resists easy answers, using wit and empathy to probe the contradictions of post-apartheid South Africa.
