Humanity must always prevail, says author
Eurupa Naidoo shares her experiences through her life in Durban and Port Shepstone in her book.
Author, Eurupa Naidoo of Marburg launched her first book, (The Sai) Spirit of Humanity.
In her autobiography, Eurupa speaks about her life growing up in Chatsworth in Durban and Port Shepstone relaying her experiences from the early 1970s to 2020s.
Eurupa shares her journey of love, obstacles, challenges, discrimination, pain, and life lessons.
She worked to better the community in and around Durban and Port Shepstone contributing towards a better South Africa and along the way touching people’s lives and most of all making friends.
Her story brings about the struggles in Durban and through refugee camps to the horrific Christmas Day massacre at Shoba Shobane near Izingolweni in 1995.
She worked closely with children and had touched many while working at Practical Ministries, Marburg Haven, at a local school and when she and her husband Kevin Naidoo owned a take away, Curries Devine in Shelly Beach.
Her first launch was held at the Crofden Library in Chatsworth last Saturday which she had fought for so dearly. This launch coincidentally fell on International Children’s Day, November 4. Here she was met with family and friends and most importantly community leaders and school friends who played a vital role in what Eurupa mentions in her book.
On Sunday a launch was held at Marburg Haven which witnessed many in attendance, from friends and family to colleagues.
Eurupa started writing the book in 2019 as a fundraiser.
She endeavors to preserve with positive humanistic approach reminding all that ‘no man is an island as we need each other to preserve humanity and mankind’.
“I am who I am because of all the people who have touched my life. I write about my journey the work I did in Chatsworth and the rural communities in Port Shepstone. I share my experiences of all those who have touched my life. It has also been a release for me regarding my pain and the lessons learnt.”
Books will be available at certain NGOs or contact Eurupa on 071 6849667.
