MINI SAGA IN SOUTH AFRICA
A third book has been submitted for publication to Friesen Press. This one is on travel in South Africa during Apartheid with political comment on its effect on the African people. Highlights are meetings with interesting and influential people such as Helen Suzman, Father Trevor Huddleston, Author Alan Paton, Ken Johnson – canon of Zululand and Harald Pager archeologist studying Bushman rock art. We explore not only how the church influenced the narrator but also how the church influenced Apartheid and the direction of the South African government.
