My Secret Sky is a heart-warming tale of two orphaned siblings. Ten-year-old Thembi and her eight-year-old brother are left their rural homestead in KZN for the city in the hope to fulfil their mother’s dream.
The traditional Zulu grass mat was meant to change the children’s lives, as their mother aimed to enter it into a craft competition. Her dream was for the mat to win a prize that could support her children, and Thembi decides to take the mat to the competition herself. Facing exploitation in the city, it is Thembi’s relationship with Khwezi that sustains her quest to not only fulfil her mother’s dream but also to discover her own.
