A Vakamorah is a person who left his Kasi - his village, his roots, his dust, his people in Kameelrivier B, Siyabuswa - and went to grind in the big cities of South Africa: Pretoria, Johannesburg, Durban, Cape Town.
He left with a promise that he will come back to build. His Kasi prayed for him, his mother blessed him, his friends gave him farewell.
But after he found his feet in the city, after he got a job, a room, a car, a new life - he never came back home to build. He never laid a brick. He never fixed the gate. He never invested back. He never poured back into the soil that raised him. He grinds for the city, but not for his Kasi.
