We grew up in Port Elizabeth with a garden full of produce tended to by uMama. Seasonal fruit and vegetables that sprouted and yielded nourishment with what always seemed like little coaxing from her. Potato, butternut, intyabontyi, beetroot, spinach, eggplant, tomato, cabbage, carrot, lettuce, onion seasons coaxing in new harvests.
She also had a bush of umhlonyane, the cure-all with leaves brewed to a bitter tea that would wipe all traces of illness away in a matter of days.
