Zimbabwe plot

Amid crop failures and the threat of AIDS, Zimbabweans are looking for work, preferably in South Africa. Nineteen-year-old Zimbabwe loses her parents to AIDS. The village chief sends her and her brother Dumi away, because the orphans are extra mouths that cannot be fed. A long hike through a world full of beautiful vistas but harrowing lives brings the children to their chilly aunt in the border town of Beitbridge. In exchange for cleaning and chopping wood, Zimbabwe and Dumi are allowed to stay in a slum behind aunt's house. A job in wealthier South Africa seems like a better prospect and Zimbabwe ends up in a big house with a white couple. But she, like her many fellow sufferers, has nothing more to say about her new life.
