• Nandi:
  Nandi is an 11-year-old girl living together with her mother and her three-year-old twin brothers in Bantu. She is the viewpoint-character of the story. She is too young to take actively part in the students' rights movement, but gets first hand information about the happenings. She is part of the conspiration and accompanies her grandmother when she goes to hide the typewriter.

• Khulu:
  Khulu is Nandi's grandmother. She works in Johannesburg (Jo'burg) selling fruits to Whites. Although she does not actively support her granddaughters in their fight she seems to have been active in that movement when she was younger. But when Esther gets in trouble she does not hesitate to try to hide the typewriter in a safe place so the girls can retrieve it later. But that leads ultimately to her being arrested and sent to jail.
