Overview
Fritz Joubert and his black British wife Jenni left London to try starting a new life in South Africa. Fritz had fled his country six years ago to avoid being conscripted into the South African Defence Force. His return could lead to imprisonment; certainly he would have to face his father who had disowned him because of his marriage. Their diary records the problems they face as they decide if a 'new' South Africa is to be their chosen home.
