THE WINE DRINKER 1943-45 'Young coloured people would be seen loitering around without jobs, not able to go to school because their parents were without means, so all they had to do was to hustle to drink cheap wine and smoke. The community was neglected and cut off from society. Mothers had to make ends meet in the most complicated way, while the fathers were either in prison, drinking or pushing drugs with friends on street corners.'
