In these moving poems on Zambia and Africa as a whole, we are presented with a vivid, compelling and masterful account of the realities of post- independence African life. The picture that emerges from this poetic drama is a people destined to remove themselves from the clutches of colonial domination and in simple terms come to grips with their way of life. Where did things go wrong for Africa in the past fifty years? What ingredients could have sailed the ship of Africa and Zambia in the right direction? What needs to be done for the benefit of the majority of the impoverished Zambians and Africans now and in the future? Sit down and take a flight.
