Meer oor hierdie e-boek

Commencing with the call to arms and resistance against colonial oppression, this book begins on familiar territory for many. The author then explores ingeniously the path of the struggle for freedom and the entrenched power brokers sustaining the colonial structure. Mabhonzo, a prophetic guerilla leader predicts what would happen if the struggle deviates from its true aims, mainly true liberty, true emancipation, true self determination rooted in the progressive ways of the people. Meanwhile the reader is taken years ahead to former colonies, now independent, but still struggling from the yoke of the power brokers and lack of genuine leadership. The author then craftly takes the reader to see the blind triumph to independence, where sadly the prophet does not live to see this day. Independence is followed by unprecedented corruption and repression which leads to an ultimate confrontation of the powerful and their global collaborators against a few good men and women. The reader then ends up in very unfamiliar waters where "a war of morals" erupts with the ultimate victory of the good taking place and a new order finally created. The Risen Bones and the wandering spirits tells us that all it takes for evil to thrive is for good men and women to do nothing. It signifies the ongoing search and the ultimate discovery of peace, justice and human goodwill underlined by struggle against evil.
