In Welcome to Our Hilbrow, Refentše is depicted as a creative writer who notes a
problem with the suppression of writing literature in African languages. In one of
the passages in the novel Refentše is addressing Refilwe about the difficulties of
writing in a language NOT of one’s own. Refentše says: She did not know that

names—names that people of Tirag-along and Hillbrow and everywhere in the
world used every day. (Welcome to Our Hillbrow, 56, 57) Assignment Task Read
