Mr. President
KSh 500.00Add to cart“With whips on our shoulders, we worked on white man’s farms, but now, With whips, we are being chased from our farms.”
Mr. President is a book full of laughter and pain as citizens of Zamire walk a tough path in search of political justice. It is the book of hope, suffering and victory. It is the book of betrayal and loyalty. You can’t stop reading it, for it is rich in literature style, written in poetic form.
Mr. President is a true reflection of the current political situation in many African countries that are forced to fight for the second liberation from black colonialism. The book critically examines how and why some African
governments oppress their citizens; as evident in the words of President Wangwa, the antagonist in the book:
“If you want to rule an African man, make him poor.” -
Betrayal
KSh 800.00Add to cartTommy goes into hiding as the air clears. The storms and waves at the coastal region where he hid typified the entanglement in his heart; he was fully conscious: but again, love no matter how ludicrous it turned him as it always does to every- one else, it still swept his feet again; he strenuously fell into it’s ditch, it found him when he least expected; with Sophie on the other hand it wasn’ t a coincidence unfortunately, reality and fantasy were two very different worlds; it was as complex as drawing a comparison between a want and a need! Sophie at last betrays Tommy for Ronnie; just similar to what Tommy does when he betrays Elsie’ s love to keep his career; to succeed in the investigations that meant the world to him. Basically; threads of family relations and friendships eventually got loose on the way, strings were unattached and promises consequently broken as well for lack of the three T’s-Trust, Talk and Truth. Therefore, everyone got entitled to their own opinions as justified by their actions that unfortunately included malice, nefarious- ness and betrayal as copiously exhibited by Kate.
