She walked thousands of kilometres across Southern Africa to be reunited with her husband Sepano in Cape Town after two years of a desperate search. Her incredible journey to escape the ruinous rule of Mobutu Sese Seko was filled with many moments of terror and despair, every country having its own share of xenophobia. She told the writer - the retired national tracing coordinator of the International Red Cross's Restoring of Family Links programme in South Africa - "I felt as if the earth had teeth, I felt its bite when I was fleeing through Africa...".Her story is a powerful intimate account of belonging and the anguish of displacement, of settling and being uprooted and how a deeply troubled household navigates this across time and space. Her story strongly highlights the vulnerability of women and children in times of war and unrest."-- $c Back cover. 500 $a Includes index. 505 0 $a How Adolphine's story came to me - Estelle Neethling -- Adolphine's voice - Adolphine Misekabu -- Flight from Lubumbashi -- Happy childhood says in Lubumbashi -- Mulumba Joseph ka Nkudimba, 'man of peace' -- Nkudimba's fallen hero and living nemesis -- Life in Zambia and political turmoil -- An arranged marriage become a love match -- A wave of unrest in Zaire -- Journeying through the wasteland -- Change of fortune in Malawi --Fall of a tyrant -- A star crossed family united -- Mobuto Sese Seko tumbles -- rebuilding a life in the mother city -- Three babies born of the kabangos -- Fear in a time of xenophobia -- Refugee life in Cape Town post 2008 -- A deep-rooted legacy -- A stout, but heavy heart -- Sepano's visit to the DRC -- Tragic news -- yet new-found peace. 650 0 $a Refugees $z South Africa. 650 0 $a Refugees $z Congo (Democratic Republic) 650 0 $a Refugees $x Social conditions. 650 7 $a Refugees. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01092797 650 7 $a Refugees $x Social conditions. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01092844 650 7 $a Social conditions. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01919811 651 0 $a Congo (Democratic Republic) $x Social conditions. 651 7 $a Congo (Democratic Republic) $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01208723 651 7 $a South Africa. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01204616 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20231117022316.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=7D06949A8FC011ECBA4AA6A62FECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
