Simao Kikamba's Going Home is a compassionate and stark debut novel about an Angolan political refugee carving out an existence in South Africa.
Told with quiet honesty, the story follows his search for work, fragile friendships, fraught encounters with police, and the intimate choices that shape daily survival. Kikamba paints a lived-in portrait of dislocation—small acts of kindness, the sting of prejudice, and the constant ache of not belonging. Warmly human and unflinching in its observations,
Going Home invites readers to sit close to one man's courage and confusion, offering a vivid, humane glimpse into migration, identity and the slow work of finding a place to belong.
