Bongani's day begins just like it does for most children: he washes, brushes his teeth and has breakfast; later at school he learns all about the letter C and makes a clown face from a paper plate. But when Bongani gets home in the evening, he puts on his kwaito music videos and dances the kwasa kwasa to the lively sounds and rhythms of South Africa...

Koos is sitting in a bar. Each time he orders a drink he takes out his wallet, removes a photograph and stares at it. ‘Who’s the photo of?’ asks the barman, serving Koos his eighth Klippies and Coke. ‘My wife. When she starts to look pretty I’ll know I’ve had enough.’ What’s the difference between a dead dog in the road and a dead rugby referee in the road? There are skid marks in front of the dog.

Danger stalks the township of KwaMashu, near Durban. It comes in the form of whoonga (known as nyaope elsewhere), a toxic mix of B-grade heroin, rat poison and other chemical components that almost immediately sucks its users into a vortex of addiction and the crime, deception and personal tragedy that goes with it. Caught up in the web, the ulwembu of the title (spider’s web in isiZulu), presided over by the dealer, Bongani Mseleku, are Lieutenant Portia Mthembu, a police officer in the frontline of the fight against the scourge; her son Sipho; his friend, Andile Nxumalo, and Emmanuel Abreu, a Mozambique-born spaza shopkeeper. As it traces Sipho’s descent from talented scholar and aspirant poet and songwriter to suicidal addict, Ulwembu explores the effects of addiction not only on those who suffer from it but on communities, families and the police, both those who try to control the murderous trade and those who benefit from it. Using a process they have dubbed Empatheatre, The Big Brotherhood, Neil Coppen, Dylan McGarry and Mpume Mtombeni, aim to share ‘people’s real-life stories, with the intention to inspire and develop a greater empathy and kindness in spaces where there is conflict or injustice’. Ulwembu is the dramatic result of their efforts.

Bongani allowed his grief to overcloud his reasoning, he believed that he has achieved all what he has achieved because his father was always there for him and after his father’s death he became fearful and doubtful. He became to say my Bow is gone which mean he is an arrow and his dad was a bow that helped him to shout. Therefore God send him a messenger to remind him that he God is still there for him and he also reminded him that it was Him who give us power to succeed in life. But in this book we see that God really meant it when he said nothing can really separate us from him. God gave Bongani a vision about Terry’s twins however he dismissed it as just a dream because he had the revelation while he was drunk and weakened by the demon of alcoholism. Terry as well because of her arrogance and greed, she was manipulated by the demon of false prosperity as a result she became a surrogate mother for the devil. And also through her wealth many dreams were shattered and destinies were diverted or delayed. In this book we also learn how people expose themselves these false prophets who go about deceiving people with false prosperity and how dangerous it is to trust on man for success instead of trusting God , people believes more on the power of network connections than on the word of God Deuteronomy 8:18 which says it is God who give us power to get wealth. Most people on Terry’s network lost their blessing to her as the demon were switching their luck with hers all in the name of power of connections because people forgot that to succeed in life is not based on whom you hang out with, or whom you know and connected with or whom do you play golf with but it is God who direct our step in Psalm 37:23 and in Ecclesiastes 9:11, which says chance happen to all of us. At the end God restored both Bongani and also used him to restore Terry and Steven marriage and God gave them triplets for the twins that went to heaven early.

This book argues that we need to focus attention on the ways that workers themselves have invested subjectively in what it means to be a worker. By doing so, we gain an explanation that moves us beyond the economic decisions made by actors, the institutional constraints faced by trade unions, or the power of the state to interpellate subjects. These more common explanations make workers and their politics visible only as a symptom of external conditions, a response to deregulated markets or a product of state recognition. Instead – through a history of retailing as a site of nation and belonging, changing legal regimes, and articulations of race, class and gender in the constitution of political subjects from the 1930s to present-day Wal-Mart – this book presents the experiences and subjectivities of workers themselves to show that the collective political subject ‘workers’ (abasebenzi) is both a durable and malleable political category. From white to black women’s labour, the forms of precariousness have changed within retailing in South Africa. Workers’ struggles in different times have in turn resolved some dilemmas and by other turn generated new categories and conditions of precariousness, all the while explaining enduring attachments to labour politics.
