Theme: AIDS in Africa
This novel tells the moving story of Themba, a young South African footballer who has nurtured his love of football since childhood. His passion and perseverance have earned him a spot on the bench for the South African national team, a feat he is proud of.
At the same time, Themba is struggling with concerns about his mother, who is severely weakened in the hospital due to AIDS. The culprit appears to be a family member, his uncle, who also abused Themba. This raises fears in Themba that he himself might be infected.
The day Themba achieved his crushing dream by scoring the winning goal in his first international match coincided with the moment he received the results of his AIDS test. As he took the stage during the press conference, he realized he was facing the most difficult decision of his life.
