		Mamphela Ramphele's life runs parallel to the rise and demise of the National Party which took over the South African government in 1948 and instituted apartheid, a strict separation of racial groups resulting in extreme repression of "Bantus", as the national policy, but she has outlived this particularly odious form of discrimination.

		RAMPHELE has related her life account several times in various contexts, she has reflected deeply and at length upon it, and was aware of her life and its telling within the broader social setting.
		RAMPHELE's autobiography and other writings outlining her own and others' achievements and struggles are very much part of the social and political context in South Africa and should be placed, as stated earlier, alongside her many other interviews and series of books on social conditions in the country.
		RAMPHELE's A Life (1996) and her earlier writings appear to have at least some of these elements, such as witness and a commentary on events, contained within them which no doubt are a range of personal feelings on the past and expectations and hopes connected with the emerging new South Africa.

	The Braided Voice: Mamphela Ramphele`s A Life
		Ramphele does ascribe her second breakdown to her being "in the grip of a serious post-natal depression" (190) and thereby portrays herself as giving birth to post-apartheid South Africa.
		The old woman, who is actually Ramphele (she says: "whose sight I had caught with the corner of my frightened eye") is a supreme symbol of hybridity who effortlessly leaps over barriers and boundaries, carrying the self to safety.
		Here the text positions Ramphele`s subjectivity on the slash between the dichotomies that have ghettoised western thinking and oppositional politics and constructs her in such a manner that she is able to speak both within and through her braided voice.
