Waiting for the Rain was inspired by the unjust policy of apartheid in South Africa. During the unfair treatment a young boy endured, he had to decide if the value of friendship can overcome extreme tensions risen by a unfavorable system.
It all began on a farm on the South African veld. Tengo was a black boy who laborer on the farm of Frikkie’s uncle. As a child, he was blinded from the unfairness and hardships, and found thorough bliss in a young companion. Frikkie was definitely recognized as higher status. He was accustomed to privileges, such as freedom and schooling, and did not have to encounter the poverty and afflictions of Kaffirs (the black boys). Despite such liberty, he desired nothing more than the visits to his uncle’s farm, where one of the joys of his short stays in the rural area was his friendship with Tengo. .
As Tengo grew, he became deeply disturbed by the political, legal, and social constraints placed on him, his family, and the colored people of the nation by the government and by society. He began to recognize the unfairness and prejudice to his people. He craved knowledge, believing that it was capable of answering his unanswerable question and bringing about change to the discriminatory ways. He yearned for the education and rights of the white. Frikkie, on the other hand, wished for nothing more than to work on his uncle’s farm and to someday inherit it. .
The two boys matured and went their separate ways; Tengo moved into the township in order to attend a school for colored people. He succeed at his studies, and dreamt of one day schooling in the United States, after he received a scholarship for his outstanding achievements. The text motivated him, it was phenomenal how his bewilderment began to diminish as he became a top scholar. Frikkie, however had already complete his schooling and wrote his matric exams, and began his two years of government mandated military service.
After his contribution to the service, he would be able to focus on his true passion, the farm.
Peace and order began to dwindle, as the tension increased among black communities. They finally realized the injustices of the policy of apartheid. The black people began by revolting against the inferiority of the education available (and costly) to them. Riots began to break out in the township in which Tengo was living and attending school. Students began to boycott class and participate in violent demonstrations. Focused and determined, he tried to remain grounded with his studies, to ensure that he would not have to encounter the life his parents resided. As his school remained closed for over a year, Tengo was eventually persuaded by the intense surrounding pressure, and joined the movement. As the country began to feel threaten by actions, they began to act as well. Special police and military servants were brought into the town in order to control the destructions.
One day, in Tengo’s township, a enraged riot outbroke. Police units were called to bring about control over the rallying during an illegal gathering. Frikkie was stationed with one of the departments on duty. As Tengo gathered amongst the protestors to see the chaos, he found himself in trouble. He ending up being the hot pursuit of one of the heated headmen.
Knowing the area well, he raced to the outskirts of town, and hid in a disserted barn. Not being deceived, the military soldier found him hiding. Astounded, the two boys stood face to face. Hesitant, the were deranged on what their next move would be. Tengo broke the silence with an uproar of hostility, he uttered his displeasure about life and how change was on the way. However, Frikkie did not respond, as you would think, being a soldier and all. He rooted this unlikely occurrence as an act of fate. Even though there was unmeasurable pain, their friendship would overcome.
