Among her most profound personal achievements is the extensive research she conducted into her family’s century-long land claim — a journey that unearthed more than 100 years of history and culminated in the claim’s approval by the Rural Land Claims Commission. It is this deeply spiritual and historical journey that inspired her debut book, Are We Not Worthy – Yet the Soil Remembers, a powerful reflection on faith, justice, land, and legacy in South Africa.

ARE WE NOT WORTHY?
For more than a century, one South African family has waited, watched, and prayed for the return of their ancestral land. Are We Not Worthy – Yet the Soil Remembers, traces this deeply personal and spiritual journey through 108 years of dispossession, broken promises, and enduring faith.
Blending history, politics, and biblical prophecy, Angela Mias reflects on how colonialism and apartheid stripped families not only of land, but of inheritance, identity, dignity, and unity. Through generations, her family’s inheritance was fractured, by laws, betrayal, division, and a government that failed to fulfill its own promises of restitution.
Yet, amid the ruins of injustice, the land still speaks. It remembers the footsteps of those who once tilled it and the prayers of those who refused to forget. Angela draws a powerful parallel between her family’s story and the biblical journey of Israel — a story of exile, remembrance, and the divine promise of restoration.
As South Africa once again debates land and expropriation, Are We Not Worthy – Yet the Soil Remembers, reminds us that restitution is more than a policy; it is a spiritual reckoning. It asks a question that echoes through generations and nations alike: When the soil remembers, can the world remain silent?
