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. –
