A compelling collection of stories reflecting an adolescent's
memories of an unconventional upbringing in Southern Africa during
the 1960's. Allowed to roam the veldt under the protective wing of
the Swazi Warrior, Mabuza, the boy's journey is merged with humour,
witticisms, anecdotes and insights from having to navigate the
potholes that are left behind by the abrupt disappearance of his
father. From learning how to walk with bare feet and how to deal
with the unorthodox teaching methods of Meneer Gerber, the reader
is transported into a boy's world where dreams triumph over
reality. Set under the bigness of the African sky, the stories are
pivoted by the boy's imagining of his father convalescing in a
distant hospital, where a natural remedy might be the potion for us
all. "I wanted to put up my hand and ask if God's car had any
gears, especially a reverse gear. I was thinking that a reverse
gear would be a good idea for God's car because if there were any
mistakes to be fixed, God could just reverse over the mistakes and
then drive forward again. This way He could repair the mistakes and
make certain they never occurred again. But I did not ask. But I
know I must." Mabuza once told me that if there are holes in the
road you often travel, stop and fill them in, for this will help
the man travelling behind you.
