"Journey to Jo'burg" by Beverly Naidoo has faced bans in South Africa primarily due to its themes addressing apartheid, racism, and the harsh realities of life under a discriminatory regime. The book's candid portrayal of social injustices and the struggles faced by black South Africans was seen as a challenge to the apartheid government's authority and narrative. Additionally, its accessibility to younger readers raised concerns among authorities about the potential for inciting dissent or encouraging anti-apartheid sentiments.
