Sindiwe Magona claims for herself a special place. . . . The keen intelligence, the verve, the compassion, and the stylistic self-assurance that have marked her writing, and [a] crisp sense of character, [lend] a hard gleam to the stories in Push-Push! –André Brink
“Magona’s tales in Push-Push! and Other Stories are as diverse in their backgrounds as they are rich in their themes and memorable characters. . . . Written in polished and moving language, this collection is an entertaining and insightful read.” –Sam Mathe, Pace Magazine
“Magona writes with wit and passion.” –Hazel Rochman
“Sindiwe Magona’s [writing] is like holding a handful of bright African beads; each tale and her telling of it is part of the treasure; you are affected and altered.” —Argus
