Jackie is a white British girl a few years older than Refilwe. She meets Refilwe when her parents send her to do volunteer work at a high school in Tiragalong. The girls strike up a friendship and stay in touch through phone calls and letters over the years. When Refilwe goes to school at Oxford Brookes, Jackie—who is also a student there—meets Refilwe at the airport. Jackie also helps Refilwe around campus, and she introduces Refilwe to her favorite bar in Oxford, Jude the Obscure.

Jackie thought that it would be a good idea to go straight to the administration block and get all the formalities of enrolment over and done with. Papers were produced and signed. No, Refilwe did not have to register with the Oxford police, as many Africans, including South Africans during the Apartheid days, had to do. South Africans, black and white, were very fine people these days, thanks to the release of Rolihlahla Mandela from Robben Island in 1990 and his push for the 1994 democratic elections.
