We all know our final destination but we have no idea what
will cross our path as we journey there.
It’s 2008 and the height of Zimbabwe’s economic demise. A group of
passengers is huddled in a Toyota Quantum about to embark on a
treacherous expedition to the City of Gold. Amongst them is
Gugulethu, who is hoping to be reconciled with her mother;
Dumisani, an ambitious young man who believes he will strike it rich,
Chamunorwa and Chenai, twins running from their troubled past;
and Portia and Nkosi, a mother and son desperate to be reunited
with a husband and father they see once a year.
They have paid a high price for the dangerous passage to
what they believe is a better life; an escape from the vicious vagaries
of their present life in Bulawayo. In their minds, the streets of
Johannesburg are paved with gold but they will have to dig deep to
get close to any gold, dirtying themselves in the process.
Told with brave honesty and bold description, the stories of
the individual immigrants are simultaneously heart-breaking and
heart-warming.
