Book Launch: Dark Continent My Black Arse by Sihle Khumalo
You’re invited to the launch of a hilarious, insightful account of a black South African’s epic Cape-to-Cairo journey across the continent – by public transport!
It’s Sihle Khumalo’s Dark Continent, My Black Arse, a travel book that started making waves even before it was written…
In 2003 Sihle Khumalo decided to give up a lucrative job and a comfortable lifestyle in Durban in order to celebrate his 30th birthday by crossing the continent from south to north. With gusto and in inimitable style, he describes a journey fraught with discomfort, mishap, ecstasy, disillusionment, discovery and astonishing human encounters – a journey that would be acceptable madness in a white man, but that is regarded by the author’s fellow Africans as an extraordinary and inexplicable expenditure of time and money.
Newly conscious of language barriers and regional difference in a continent still unexplored by the majority of Africans, the author presents a strikingly original and highly enjoyable account of a unique adventure.
We hope to see you there! Details below…
