Description
The land is South Africa where all too often people have been dispossessed by imperious government decree – never more disgracefully than in the Native Lands Act of 1913. Sometimes the beleaguered people have fought back, inspired by leaders with a purpose to reclaim justice.
Such a zealot is Enoch Mistas, a tall imposing presence on the landscape with a Bible chained to his wrist and the day of judgement on his lips. He is the scourge of the country’s president, his rise foretold by an oracle.
With humour and vision, Mike Nicol examines the power of history and the plight of those who have been carried helplessly in its wake.
