In Seun , Dana Snyman shares the part of his story he has never talked about before: his experiences in the 1980s. This is the time of P.W. Botha’s finger, the “Voëlvry” tour, AWB rallies, negotiations and the last days of military service. Dana is dishonourably discharged from the army, but first he takes a trip to Hall 24. This raw, revealing memoir asks: How does a boy become a man? A boy who can’t get a girl’s attention? A boy who isn’t good enough for the army? Seun is a moving account of growing up during the death throes of a political system, of masculinity and honour, and of love that ultimately conquers all.
