Publisher Description: Saa ya Ukombozi or The Hour of Emancipation is about heroic villagers of Githakwa led by mzee Njema. These villagers are able to stop corrupt government officials who wanted to sell their village to an investor after the discovery of precious stone in the area. Their resistance, does not only save their village but it also ends up bring about true and viable changes in their country of Mizengwe or Abracadabra. This is typically different from the adage whereby changes start in big cities. Githakwa villagers, heroically, boot down a very nugatory and stinkingly corrupt regime that has - for long - been an anathema-cum-genie to them. |
