Text: Nelson’s Memories

As boys, we were mostly left to our own devices. We played with toys we made ourselves. We molded animals and birds out of clay. We made ox-drawn sleighs out of tree branches. Nature was our playground. One day, George Mbekela who was a retired teacher paid a visit to my mother. "Your son is a clever young fellow," he said. "He should go to school." My mother remained silent. No one in my family had ever attended school But my father,immediately decided that his youngest son should go to school. The schoolhouse consisted of a single room, with a Western-style roof, on the other side of the hill from Qunu. I was seven years old, and on the day before I was to begin, my father took me aside and told me that I must be dressed properly for school. Until that time, I, like all the other boys in Qunu, had worn only a blanket, which was wrapped around one shoulder and pinned at the waist. My father took a pair of his trousers and cut them at the knee. He told me to put them on, which I did, I have never owned a suit I was prouder to wear than my father's cut-off pants. On the first day of school, my teacher, Miss Mdingane, gave each of us an English name and said that was the name we would answer to in school. That day, Miss Mdingane told me that my new name was Nelson.
