After a challenging childhood with his grandmother in a remote village, 13-year-old Mmusi sets off to the township in search of his father. Instead, he’s taken in by a strict Jehovah’s Witness, whose unyielding beliefs leave him feeling out of place. Struggling to fit in, Mmusi ends up homeless, rejected by society. Determined to reunite with his mother in Johannesburg, he faces prejudice and false accusations at every turn. Along the way, unexpected friendships teach him resilience and hope. When he’s offered a scholarship to America, a dream he once thought impossible, he’s forced to confront the reality that without a home, his future remains uncertain. Shap Shap is a powerful story of survival, strength, and the search for belonging.
