In The Midst Of It All

Nandi Nxumalo and Femi Adewoye are in love. But although the ladies at Nandi’s favourite hair salon drool over her tall, dark and super handsome boyfriend who has his own auto repair shop, there are others in her community who are less pleased that she, a Zulu woman, has fallen for a ‘foreigner’.

Nandi has to hide her relationship with her Nigerian boyfriend from her xenophobic father who would never allow them to date. But Femi is serious about her and wants to meet her parents. She is afraid of what her father might do when she introduces them. On the other hand, she doesn’t want to lose Femi. His ex-girlfriend Chichi is already trying to come between them.

When xenophobic attacks break out all over the country, Nandi and Femi do not escape unaffected. Nandi feels she has to do something – she can no longer be silent.
