The Beer Bottle Cut
Growing up in Kliptown, one of the many townships we moved through after being evicted from Albertville under the Group Areas Act, I learned early on about hardship, survival, and unexpected lessons that life throws at you. One memory stands out, not only because of the pain I endured but also because of the deeper lessons it carried for my family and me.

My young hands gripped a rudimentary weapon: a *bottle kop*, a crude contraption with a bottle's broken neck tied with strips of car wheel rubber, used to shoot arrows made of reeds and bent metal bottle caps. This was no game; this was survival, and I was barely old enough to comprehend it.
