Poppie Nongena
Poppie Nongena Remarkable Women:
There is one who I think we should all remember. I know we put up the trailer in our film revue in January 2020, but this is becoming even more dramatic. Poppie Nongema: The following is all from here The background is South Africa in the 1970’s. (from our film review): Based on the Elsa Joubert novel “The Long Journey of Poppie Nongena” tells the story of a South African woman, an Afri kaans speaking Xhosa mother, whose life revolves around her family and finding stability in a peri od of insufferable upheaval in the country. When her husband, Stone, became too ill to work, Poppie was deemed by the law to be an “illegal” resident in her own country. She engaged in a desperate struggle with the authorities for permission to stay, moving from house to house, applying for permits, applying for extensions, extensions of extensions, and using every means at her disposal to remain with her children. Caught in the cross fire of her children’s needs, her husband’s illness, community anger and repres sive laws, she was finally forced to give in just as the 1976 riots for freedom erupted. But what is really the reality is that this happened! It is not fiction and she was not the only one. And I have not been able to find a picture of the real Poppie Nongema. The amazing thing here is that her story was told in book form in 1978. It is all there and docu mented.The different laws were there for all to see. We can still go to the archives. What we can also do is to ask our grandparents. They have a story to tell and we should not let their knowledge and experience be forgotten. Poppie Nongema passed in 1992. The Author of the book, Elsa Joubert, spoke at the funeral. The author Elsa Joubert died in Cape Town on 14 June 2020 due to COVID-19-related causes. This is all very personal and that makes it worth knowing. These were real people!
