About this listen

Rosemary Venter was born in the Transvaal in 1928. This is a long series of three books, covering a period of 72 years.

My mother who produced the original manuscript is now over 95 years old. The story is, among other things, an attempt to portray the social history of the times. She believed it important that records were kept of those days, where economic and political change was rapid and unpredictable. This was her contribution to that history.

This part of her story takes us through her early years ending when she leaves for Southern Rhodesia to be reunited with her future husband after meeting Neil at Rhodes University where they both studied.

What a wonderful story to share

I found the story touching and entertaining. A glimpse into a time and place that we would find hard to imagine in this day and age - yet the simplicity of this human story touches your heart. I can’t wait to hear part 2!
