About the Book
“Where struggle meets courage, purple is born.”
The Purple Struggle is more than a memoir― It’s a gripping story of hardship and triumph. From dust to dignity, Dr Masango traces his journey from the struggles of poverty, racism, and personal sacrifice to the triumph of education, healing and self-discovery.
The book captures the essence of human resilience: how hunger can become inspiration, pain a teacher, and adversity a stepping stone toward greatness. It challenges the reader to look beyond circumstances and believe in the transformative power of courage, discipline and mental strength.
The Purple Struggle is a story where excuses find no room in South Africa, and the impossible is never an option― a story for anyone who has ever dreamed of breaking free from the chains of limitations.
