Dark Continent My Black Arse
Was R130.00 Now R117.00
A hilarious, insightful account of a black South African’s epic Cape-to-Cairo journey across the continent - by pub
lic transport!
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 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.

Second hand review.Reviewed by Gordon from Durban on 07 February 2008 341 of 702 people found the following review helpful: Haven’t read this book yet (because my wife hogged it) but she devoured it almost overnight then lent it to a friend which should explain why I am still waiting my turn. She giggled a lot while reading it and got very absorbed especially when she got to places that we had visited. Had a quick peek at it and the writing style is very smooth and flowing.
