Discuss Thami relationship with Mr M

In apartheid South Africa, to be young, gifted and black is not enough. Mr. M understands this, and so does Thami. Unfortunately, Mr. M thinks the way out is a scholarship, while Thami becomes convinced that words are not enough and so gets involved with an underground group of political activists seeking to meet violence with violence. Both are passionate about youth and South Africa. Thami just thinks working within the status quo, even with a top education, is not enough to change things. Both Thami and Mr. M care deeply for each other.
