Race prejudice and convention pothole the road to romance, but the lovers ride out the bumps...

The difference between the West African, who does not mind being black, and the South African native, who does, shows up in Drum's two editions; e.g., a pomade ad in the South African edition promises to de-kink hair, but for West African readers the same product touts its ability to preserve natural curl...
