The timespan covered by this story is all in the eye of the beholder, as is the direction taken by a traveller. It could cover a period of seventeen years through the eyes of an inexperienced mfana (boy), or it could cover a century of history through the eyes of an ancient and wise mdala (old man), it all depends on which way you look at it...The Shangaan Song is a ragged assortment of stories from the Zimbabwean bush, as non-conforming and unpredictable as the land in which it is set. Adventure, comedy, tragedy and paradox, this book is a stimulating and evocative read for anyone who knows rural Africa, or for anyone who wishes to know it. Proceeds from the sale of this book will be used to support the Borderline Walk - a foot journey of 4000+ kilometers along Zimbabwe's border.
