I noticed one good sign that I am integrating well into my
community at a recent intramural soccer tournament: my students have become
very protective of me. My school had gotten past the first round, and we were
at Letsooa, a nearby Primary School, for the finals. I was standing outside the
classroom that served as Matholeng’s base station, putting on some sunscreen,
and I was drawing something of a crowd from the students from other schools. I
had no problem with this, as I imagine they were just curious. Why’s he smearing white cream on his face?
Isn’t he white enough already? What’s his problem? But the students from my
school were not pleased that the others were staring at me, and they yelled at
them to go away.
