PRELUDE

This Novel is about and tweaked as an Edu-Tainment to be read as a conscientization to the present youth of the Motherland and the Diaspora about our past , as all people of Motherland descent once in Slavery, Apartheid and now in

Neo-Apartheid all round and using a mix of the language of S.As’. English and a kind of Ebonics…

To share our world -wide pain an ensuing injustices that were never ever healed in more than four hundred years of slavery and into the present thirty years of neo-apartheid, only now struggling in earnest to heal -as a result of our Ballot Box bombardment that has brought in a Government of National Unity,out of which much hope is going forth.

Whilst despite all, we also celebrate our strength and its assured wide prospect for the future, way beyond some of the 2024 elections , the world round…As also a Super Power Representatives suddenly have High Tea with the S.A. IEC, just weeks before the Elections and later a ‘Messianic Super Star’ who has just resurrected by surviving an assassination attempt.
