A bright, articulate guy, Dingz and his circle of friends sit around drinking and discussing current affairs - Aids, racism, South African politics and history - in between being kidnapped by taxi-drivers, contracting gonorrhoea and trying to fake a death certificate. _x000D_

All in all, an exciting and lively read; the narrator has a humorous, wry voice, perceptive and cynical. A glimpse into the lives of the "kwaito generation", both in the township and on campus.
