Welcome to a rollicking world of good old South African characters!
The days of the Republiek van Suid-Afrika reign, and life is
interesting in Durban, “Last Outpost of the British Empire”. It is
the OLD SOUTH AFRICA where LAW AND ORDER rules and SEPARATE BUT
EQUAL is the mantra. Defined by type, each character blazes across
the pages - there’s Mr So-So - the Lahnee (of course), and the
“melanin-impaired” Pekkie Ous, Char Ous and Bruin Ous; plus the
obligatory Wit Ous. Sergeant Labuschagne could be a LABUSHAIN or
LABOOSKAKNEE and Constable Ahmed Moosa could be a SAMOOSA. Johnny
is a Char Ou whose Mudda is with the angels and whose Fadda was a
drunken so-and-so. The famous (some would say infamous) White House
Hotel “…snatched from the English countryside and plonked on the
highest of Mount Edgecombe’s rolling hills of sugarcane” rebounds
with action, drunken and sober in The Lahnee’s Pleasure. From
Ronnie Govender, bestselling author of Song of the Atman, Fawlty
Towers meets Bollywood in the glorious hills of KwaZulu-Natal in
this beautifully crafted ode to South Arica’s preposterous “wold”
prior to the NEW SOUTH AFRICA and THE LONG WALK TO FREEDOM.
