This is the life and times of Jabu Ndlovu—wife, mother, worker, union activist—who fought for the rights of her fellow workers and community members.

Flashes in Her Soul is the second book in the Hidden Voices series and is the story of Jabu Ndlovu, a shop steward of the National Union of Metalworkers of South Africa and a community leader in Imbali near Pietermaritzburg.

Jabu, her husband and her oldest daughter were killed in a brutal attack on their home in May 1989.

This story shows the courage and compassion with which Jabu fought against all forms of exploitation.

Her story represents the experiences of thousands of women who struggled and suffered as a result of the war in KwaZulu-Natal in the 1980s and 1990s.

Jabu's story reminds us of the devastation that violence brings to families, communities and organizations.The politics and dynamics behind the violence today are not the same as in the 1980s and early 1990s, but the need remains for strong and moral leaders like Jabu to speak out and organize against the violence and the moral corruption that lies behind it.
