Book Site

History - The southern African region has undergone a period of momentous change as the region, Zimbabwe, Mozambique, Botswana, Namibia and South Africa, freed themselves from the yoke of oppression. Social Justice - However, as always, what has this change meant to ordinary human beings? Is there social justice? This biography - written by a High Court Judge, Chris Greenland, it traces the life of one such person in an intriguing, captivating journey of life. It is a truly enthralling journey as improbable history is made. The magic of Africa is ever present, and its animals play starring roles. Truth - However, throughout the reader is kept challenged on the basis of truth. There is a concern with the propagation of convenient untruths and the suppression of inconvenient truths. See "Some Questions" below. Justice and its subsets of racism, ethnicity and xenophobia are served up for keen consideration. So too as regards the issue of systemic hypocrisy and corruption. It is a story involving drama, in the courtroom, in the wilds of Africa ... and in ordinary life. There is an intriguing new treatment of subjects such as criminal trial procedure and punishment, including the death penalty, whipping, infanticide and the so called "right to silence" (5th Amendment in the US). This is a "must read" for everyone and particularly those involved in social justice and human rights. -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

It is also of keen relevance to all humanity, whose members are forever challenged in matters of truth and justice. See "Book Review" - and/or navigate to "About this book" -

History Foretold

When I published the book, in 2010, I could never have imagined that its impact statement would soon be vindicated in Tunisia, Egypt and other Arab countries. The impact statement says that an ordinary life becomes extraordinary, so as to be meaningful to others and to make a difference if the truth is pursued. The insistence is that if ordinary folk reject the well established culture around propagating convenient untruth and suppressing inconvenient truth, then social justice has the best chance of achievement. NAACP This book should be of immense interest to members of the NAACP as it centers around the life of a Coloured person, as an enthralling story, spanning four different countries in the Southern African region at a time of its most revolutionary change.

I'm for truth, no matter who tells it; I'm for justice, no matter who it is for or against.
