What happens when you stumble upon evidence that implicates fellow
executives in corrupt practices, and in your quest to fight the
vice, you face the obstacles of ethnicity and trade unionism,
backed by bad governance from the highest political office in the
land? Alfred and Lewis are senior executives at an African
broadcasting company who produce evidence against corrupt fellow
executives, but most of whom belong to the state President's ethnic
group. In the silent war that ensues, the President, First Lady,
Vice President, some Cabinet Ministers and Backbenchers, the
Intelligence Service, the company's Board of Directors, its
nonchalant CEO and some of the company's clients side with the
villain, Spade, the VP of Operations and famous TV personality.
Unionized workers go on a pro-Spade strike. Undaunted, Alfred and
Lewis threaten to spill the beans. So, Spade resigns his job, but
only after being promised a diplomatic appointment. When Alfred
succeeds Spade as VP of Operations, he strives to clean the slate.
But without the CEO's support, and in an environment where some
company employees are on State House payroll, will Alfred succumb
to the demands of ruling party politicians for the control of the
newsroom diary? Will the corruption ever stop? Will Lewis's
contract of service be renewed? Tipped about a danger to his life,
Alfred and family must leave for the US. From the President's
office to the boardroom and the courts, from TV studios to the
cemeteries, the scenic beauty of Cape Town and the wilderness of
Kenya, The African Journalist tells the tale of the African
journalist today. Although a work of fiction, the story is inspired
by true events. It's the story of Africa's perennial ethnicity
problem, as witnessed recently, on an explosive scale, in Rwanda,
Kenya and South Africa.
