Full of Possibilities
Southern Rhodesia, a backwater of the Empire, is flooded with a motley crew of European immigrants after WWII. After many disappointments, overwhelmed with work, Dr. Sunny Rubenstein finally welcomes to Umzimtuti, a long sought-after locum, with luck in time, a partner, George Hyde-Clarendon. He hopes George will be the English foil for his nemesis, ex-Indian Army Major Cecil Wolseley. Sunny sees Umzimtuti, the smallest municipality in the world could be big-if it plays its cards right. But the long-entrenched mayor, Angus Buchanan, and self-interested council members stand in the way. Juggling between medical and municipal crises are love and betrayal, medical miracles, mystery, ambiguous motives, and just the slightest possibility of taming the vast southern African landscape.Whether you have visited Umzimtuti before or are just discovering it now, Full of Possibilities is a fine place to understand the challenges and triumphs of the times in the context of world events.
Whitewashed Jacarandas
Hope looms in a vast land wide open with possibilities... Dr. Sunny Rubenstein travels the night train through the black void of Africa to check out his 51st job prospect on the rich Cheetah Gold Mine. Along the way he hears that the mine might be running out. But the appendage to it, Umzimtuti, the smallest municipality in the world, could be big-even King George VI will stop off for tea on his Victory Tour on the Royal White Train. The mine's bonus is a free rambling house with the only indoor toilet in town. It's the perfect antidote to his wife Mavourneen's difficult war years with their ailing son, Douglas. Sunny cannot afford to lose a case in his first year to secure the post permanen...
Pan-Africanism Versus Partnership
This book takes the transnational history of southern Africa’s liberation struggles in an innovative direction. It provides one of the first targeted studies of the manner in which the wider process of African decolonisation shaped the political struggle for control of Southern Rhodesia (colonial Zimbabwe). It offers an in-depth survey of the repercussions of pan-African developments on national-level political thought amidst one of the most seminal moments of the continent’s history. The book draws on over a year of fieldwork in southern Africa as well as archival collections in the USA and UK to explore the seismic re-alignments that occurred in the white settler dominated territory in southern Africa as self-determination became a widely accepted international principle virtually overnight. In particular, it focuses on the impact of decolonisation struggles and/or independence in Ghana, Nigeria, the Democratic Republic of the Congo and Malawi on Zimbabwe’s liberation struggle. In so doing, it also offers new context on the roots of contemporary repression in Zimbabwe.

The Bible Code Princess Diana and Dodi Fayed
What happened to Diana and Dodi in the Alma Tunnel on the night of August 31, 1997? Was Diana six weeks pregnant? Was she about to get engaged and married to Dodi? Had Dodi purchased an engagement ring for her? Was he planning to present it to her that night? Was Andanson an SIS operative, trained to use his white Fiat Uno to tip the Mercedes car, causing it to career into the 13th pillar in the tunnel? Why was he found, deep in a forest, beheaded in his burnt out, keyless, locked car, with a bullet wound in his head? Is Tomlinson, ex-SIS agent, absolutely right when he says the Mercedes car accident was a classically planned SIS method of execution, one he knew was being planned to assassinate a former Serbian leader? What was the bright light witnesses saw in the tunnel that night? Was it a strobe light used to blind the driver? What was the loud bang they heard before the crash? Did Diana tell a medic that she wished to be buried with Dodi as she lay dying? Was Diana a half-sister to Jemima Khan?
