The charmed life of Mzwinila

The compound has tall eucalyptus trees. The living room of the main house is spacious with rows of military green spider canvas chairs lining the wall. Mzwinila is sitting on one of the spider chairs behind a cross legged tray fashioned into a table.

He stands up to extend a prosthetic right hand in greeting. He is wearing a bright orange shirt, a pair of jeans and sandals. The far end of the sitting room is lined with huge wall-to-wall mirrors with BNF posters stuck above them. Mzwinila is fussy about the fact that he has just relocated from Gaborone and more of his property is still to be ferried to Tonota.
