All Walled In - Thokozile Eunice Mahlaola - Bog

Being locked down has a new meaning and it is either being locked in, locked out, or locked up.

Sello stands in a lottery queue and watches the crowd talk about winning the lottery. In no time he swiftly grabs an elderly woman's bag, takes off, and disappears out of sight. After a while he emerges from under Amogelang's fruit and vegetables table, thanking him for always covering for him.

Sello "Lolo" Sedibe finds himself in a situation he never thought would happen to him: his mother passes away, living him in great debt with no way possible to settle it. What's more, he made the debt by borrowing from thugs who are now hunting him down. On the other hand, his criminal ways have put him on the police's wanted list.

When he thinks that his plan to escape Sosha is finally working, now that the national lockdown and the global pandemic are over, he gets shocked to realise that their township is walled-in, and no one can leave nor enter Sosha.

Township life will never be the same again.
