Ruptured Walk
Conflict is an inherent part of life. The ruptured Walk, not only evokes the narrator-protagonist’s personal, family and spiritual life. It brilliantly and expertly gives us a gaze into the heart of a woman whose search for peace and justice brings her almost to a cataclysmic end. Her vistas takes the reader into her confidence as she confides, how the pulpit is used to subject the congregants into kowtowing to the pastor’s authority and those who dare see it as an object of oppression are tried and cast out as silly tedious deviates. She gently reflects that behind an indomitable character she is known to be, still stands a fallible person who battles with some of the choices she has made. In her pursuit to self-correct, she becomes a lone voice trying to dissuade others from falling prey to the same unfortunate fate she suffered. This sends her into the tradition of renegades as viewed through the eyes of the pastor. The animosity between the pastor and our protagonist culminates in the decision of her viewing family relations rather than money. This view compels the reader to decide on his or her own virtues, what comes first between church, money and family. In the end the narrative talks to the name of the book, why the author chose not to name it Rapture, which means a feeling of intense pleasure rather a rupture that means break away! Once again, the woman’s decision is against the popular norm. The author expertly takes us through Mehlolo’s conflicting personal and popular view and she elects the antonym of union, deciding to break away, in a complex yet narratively sequential, the theme of the story lends itself with ease to the name.
