In 1880, eight-year-old Raju and his family board a ship from India to work on the sugar cane plantations in South Africa.
Little does Raju realise how this new journey to the ‘Dark Continent’ of Africa will change his life forever. Trapped by poverty and forced to grow up quickly, Raju works under a tyrannical hostile environment, facing the harsh realities of what it means to be an ‘indentured labourer’.
One summer, Raju meets eight-year-old Sipho, an African child who works as the kitchen boy for the white farmer. This unique yet clandestine friendship brings new joy to Raju.
However, things suddenly change… Sipho’s father is killed, the police close in to stop innocent protesters and in all of the mayhem, Sipho disappears.
Will Raju have time to save his family or go searching for his friend in the dark, forbidden forest?
Seen through the eyes of Raju, Uhambo – The Journey narrates a compelling story of an indenture child forced to survive the cruelties of slavery and injustices during colonialism.
Twelve-year-old Pooja has never done anything this crazy in her life – stealing a book, lying or skipping classes – OMG! Who has she become?

Twelve-year-old Pooja has never done anything this crazy in her life – stealing a book, lying or skipping classes – OMG! Who has she become? Pooja is the perfect student, the perfect daughter with the perfect grades. But this is what happens when your parents send you packing to an international boarding school without your permission!
A few years ago a Magic Man told Pooja, “Soon your life will change. The curse of the Age of Darkness will only disappear if you help unravel the mystery inside a hidden temple.”
This is ludicrous! – “How can a 12-year-old save the world, when she can’t even save herself?”
Right now she is facing her own crisis – Firstly, Natalie, the culprit who exiled her from Bangalore, and her crazy, troublesome friend, Reet arrive at her school. Secondly, what mystery is lurking beneath her school – after all it is an ancient fort! Ghosts, vampires or even murderers may be roaming those grounds.
Pooja investigates one night and finds her Deputy Head, Mr Vijay Singh with two British researchers. “Where are they coming from and what secret diary are they talking about?” Is the Universe telling her something when the secret diary literally lands at her feet! When explosives and fireworks go off at the same time, Pooja realises meditation or chanting mantras is not going to solve her problems.
She has to use her magic powers and follow the cryptic codes to find the truth. But can she save the school on time?
