Jambino and the Frogs (ePub)

I come from a large family, number twelve of thirteen children. At eighty-six, I am the only one alive of the family today.

I qualified as a teacher and have taught across the spectrum from reception class to primary to high school and teacher training. I entered my drama group whilst teaching at Tlakula High School in Springs, South Africa, in a competition run by the British Shakespeare company and won a scholarship to study drama in England. I had been teaching for twenty years then and hoped the government would grant me leave to go and study in England. I got no reply and left to start my course in London. Whilst there, the South African government dismissed me from teaching, so I could not return to my profession nor even my family as the pass, which all Africans were forced to carry then, only allowed me into the urban area where I was born as long as I was employed as a teacher. So I was stranded in England but went on to do a postgraduate diploma in drama at Newcastle University, which was paid for me by Sue McGregor, Nicholas Amer, and Janet Suzman. I am eternally grateful to these people. Unfortunately, I could not go back to South Africa and was given the right to British nationality. Banned and divorced, I left my children in South Africa and remarried to Mr. Terence McGarry and settled in England.
