When he remembers the intense
hunger he felt almost every day in the

“It’s tough to relive some memories.

it’s a beautiful thing. I’m the person I
am today because of every sacrifice she
made and I’m glad I was the one who
held her as she died. I see so much
beauty in it.”

Kolisi remembers looking at pho-
tographs of his mother when she was
young – before she gave birth to him
at 18. He describes her as “beautiful
and, most of all, unscarred. I never
saw her look like that because her face

she had scars all over her face.”
