Three young professionals set off on a hiking trail to a campsite in the upper regions of the Drakensberg mountains in KwaZulu-Natal little knowing what lies ahead when a stranger who has been following them lures them into performing a bizarre mind game which has a concealed dark intent.
What unfolds against the spectacular mountainous amphitheatre is the stranger’s journey into South Africa’s historical landscape in which he manipulates the hikers into taking on the identity of key role players in shaping the country’s destiny, scripted in such a way as to serve his sense of disillusionment of a political ideal that has come to nothing. His feelings of betrayal and anger merge with a past personal vendetta that he has with one of the hikers to the point that the mind game takes on threatening undertones.
In The Rainbow Epilogue Neville Herrington moves away from the personal experience of living in a country undergoing socio-political change in his autobiographies Growing up in White South Africa and Growing Old in Black South Africa to a more objective, critical perspective of a South Africa in which the aspirations encapsulated in the Rainbow Nation, (a term coined by Desmond Tutu and used by Mandela at the end of apartheid), have for many failed to materialise, as it has for his central character, Reginald Taylor, who supported an ideal that has not only failed to deliver, but turned on him destroying everything that is meaningful in his life.
