Louisa Zondo's work has helped to shape the new South Africa, but she has also faced intense grief and trauma, which came from the underside of the emerging nation's complex social fabric.
As mother of much-loved music star Riky Rick, who tragically took his own life in 2022, Louisa Zondo's loss was shared by millions, but it was also a uniquely deep, lonely and life-shattering grief. The loss of her beloved MaRiky also brought to the surface cataclysmic trauma from her past.
As Louisa Zondo takes her first small steps to facing her grief, she finds herself speaking to her son in a series of letters, gradually finding the words to express her love for him, and the pain of losing him. In expressing that love, she tells the story of her own life and the experiences that shaped her.
This brave journey brings Louisa to a deeper understanding of her life's path, and closer to healing.
