Title: Thabo and Freddie – White or black?
Author: Maseehullah Patel
Renewed by: Mohammed Raeez Amod


Thabo and Freddie is a book which was written by Maseehullah Patel. Maseehullah makes the story seem so original. It is a book dealing with the apartheid rule, and the TRC.

The book is about Thabo who’s dream come true, of becoming a president of South Africa and leader of the TRC. Thabo’s story dealing with apartheid is then narrated. The story narrated tells us the injustice Thabo went through and how he was oppressed by a white boy called Freddie. With the TRC Thabo can either choose to have him punished or to forgive him.

This book is a fiction, but the topics and ideas the book highlights or deals with is all facts.

I think the book is quite good, because it shows the reader what was the main concept of apartheid and the TRC. It also encourages readers to find out a more detailed explanation of apartheid and the TRC.
