{"product_id":"9781776404841","title":"Yes, I Am A Pilot!","description":"Yes, I am a Pilot! is a story of the realisation of a long-cherished dream. It is the story of a typical township girl turned pioneer, a young Black woman who has boldly staked her claim in a predominantly white male-dominated preserve - the South African Air Force. From modest Ntuzuma township to the hallowed precincts of the clockwork set-up of the military, Major Mandisa Mfeka has broken all manner of barriers - racial, gender, and class - to hold the distinction of being the first South African Black woman fighter pilot.    Born into a Black middle-class family, Mfeka boasts an accomplishment readily associated with white upper-crust offspring - the prized pilot's licence, a qualification that has gifted her with the privilege of being part of the fly-past at the South African president's inauguration. Mfeka's biographer, the ebullient and frank-talking Ongkopotse J J Tabane, chronicles her awe-inspiring journey from childhood through her fascination with aircraft and gritty endeavours to the fulfilment of her career dream.    Every Black girl, every township and rural girl should read Yes, I am a Pilot! and be inspired by Major Mandisa Mfeka's thrills and travails to believe that: Yes, I too can be anything I aspire to be.","brand":"Onkgopotse","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47035111080254,"sku":"9781776404841","price":200.0,"currency_code":"ZAR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4357\/7662\/products\/9781776404841_628412c6-eb25-4ee5-bcfd-8d5e13e47b1d.jpg?v=1707618719","url":"https:\/\/exclusivebooks.co.za\/products\/9781776404841","provider":"Exclusive Books Online","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
