Black Child Leave The Township is a book that addresses the adverse situations that staying in a township can have on an individual. And those adversities, which are brought by others and all the different general negative influences play a role in how a young person, in turn, may likely fail to realize his or her full potential.
 
Also, we need to keep in mind that townships were made to oppress black people. The way they were structured from the onset. They essentially were the apartheid government's concentration camps. And we need to stop glamourizing the township as much as we do. We can always have better, actually have the BEST. We ought to strive to live in better environments. 
 
We know, in almost all cases; we find ourselves in townships not by choice but by circumstances. But once you get an opportunity to leave, you have to take it and exploit it. For the betterment of not just yourself but your entire family. There is no Jew that will willingly choose to stay in the NAZI concentration camps such as Auschwitz when they have an opportunity to leave. So why would you?
 
The book addresses the issues of black-on-black hate, jealousy, and the massive reluctance that most people have to embrace individuals who try to rise above their circumstances. Moreover, how the black townships are treated and regarded as nothing by most government institutions. Because they were never meant for anyone to flourish, they were structured to destroy and limit us, and that continues to this day.
 
The book does not only end there, it also gives light to teach that you may be physically living in the township but mentally be in a different zone, and therefore all the negative conditions that engulf the South African townships may not easily get to you.
 
The book provides strategies and methods one can use to fully reach their potential, even in the midst of all the negative factors that may be in their immediate environment.
