I haven't published short fiction in some time, so I am really excited about "The Yellow Leaf"! It is a story I have been writing for many years and one I hope is necessary. I feel so much attachment to it as it branches off of the themes I explored in An Orchestra of Minorities. The @parisreview team is fantastic and it is an honor to publish this story there. Grab a copy of the issue!

Fun historical fact: Before you lot pin everything on Duduzile’s hapless dad, the closures & some mergers of technical & vocational colleges actually happened under the Thabo Mbeki regime, with Prof Kader Asmal doing the spade work for the Cabinet— as a policy shift into the current FET colleges. With the cadres feeling emboldened by their two-thirds majority then, teachers’ training colleges were also not spared, with most of them closed or incorporated into universities. Nursing training colleges were also restructured accordingly & absorbed into varsities or technikons then. Critics still argue that the move was a transformation plan gone wrong— one of many by the ANC cadres. Those in favour of the experimenting cadres counter-argue that to rebuild you must first destroy— or something to that effect.
