Discover the gripping tale of Together Apart: The Story of Living in Apartheid, that explores South Africa’s struggle against one of history’s most notorious systems of racial segregation. Through the reflections of an elder who lived through it, this book invites readers to dive into the complex and heartbreaking history of apartheid, a time when courage and resilience shone brightly in the face of oppression.

What was life like under apartheid? How did colonisation erase the rich histories and cultures of the indigenous people? From the denial of voting rights to the harsh segregation laws that controlled people’s daily lives − where they lived, worked, and even who they could marry − it spread through every aspect of life from education to sports. In the world of work, apartheid created a system of migrant labour and domestic slavery.

Meet the brave individuals and organisations that fought tirelessly for equality and justice and whose stories of strength, love and revolution are woven together showing the triumph of the human spirit against overwhelming odds.

While apartheid may have officially ended, its impact still resonates today. This book serves as a vital reminder of the sacrifices made and the ongoing journey toward a truly inclusive society. Together Apart is more than just a history book − it’s a call to action for a new generation to understand the past and shape a better future.
