    About this ebook

    Reward Musara is born in colonial Rhodesia, grows up and learns to get involved in the struggle which promises to offer liberation, according to the promise. The peomise almost comes and gets almost touchable, then peels off its sheep skin, tramples up all hope and goes on a rampage, breaking all records for the wrong reasons.

       The biography reflects on both small and big issues, personal, weird cultural issues, social, national, political, beliefs and racial issues from colonial to present day Zimbabwe in a three part series: colonial, better days and the rupture. The struggle that he and others go through to keep body and soul together makes the flesh of the story.

      I am trapped in Australia. The borders are shut, which has worked well for keeping COVID-19 out, but it has also kept me in. Over the last fifteen months in sunny Perth, where I live, there have only been two cases of COVID-19 in the community. We ha

      It’s important to be yourself in life. Don’t think you have to adapt according to the people or situation you’re in. It’s perfectly all right to be exactly who you are, to like what you like. That’s a lesson it took me a long time to learn. I grew up
