My Namibian book launch

Sometimes you hear people speak about Botho and you become cynical. In this modern world where everyone is hustling at the expense of everything: other people, their integrity, their moral code - you begin to think Botho is dead, but it is not. This trip has renewed many things in me; it was like some wonderful medicine.

I travelled over the border with “my crew”.  I wanted to make sure that the cross border energy of the novel carried over through the launch as well. Charles Kakomee, graphic artist and poet, member of Poetavango, made his way to Windhoek to perform at the launch, while my long-time writing-buddy, Wame Molefhe (who would interview me about the book at the launch); my daughter, singer, Katini (who provided the music on the night); and me travelled the Trans-Kgalagadi Highway west in my little car.
