About The Book

Hyperinflation massive unemployment and chronic fuel shortages which make black market petrol the most valuable commodity in the land should be enough to kill Zimbabwes government stone dead. However its redoubtable president Robert Mugabe is not so easily daunted especially since he has the police the army and the fearsome Green Bombers national service men and women at his disposal. . Ndlovu a menial worker in a funeral parlour is an ordinary man with an extraordinary plan who discovers how to make the moribund economy and death work for him. His motley crew of cohorts and hangers-on help him borrow bodies from his work so they can impersonate bereaved relatives unable to afford the services of undertakers who are transporting their deceased loved ones to remote rural homes. As do-it-yourself undertakers this entitles them to as much petrol as they need which they sell on the black market. . Ndlovus scheme never runs smoothly especially since he enlists the support of mad Archie resident lunatic and notorious dissident. Inevitably Ndlovu and his gang fall foul of the state security apparatus and they are victimised by a particularly powerful member of the Central Intelligence Organisation (CIO) who wants in on their scheme. It is only a matter of time before political turmoil and the absurdity of the everyday life catches up with them.
