Kagiso ‘Dubla’ Senthufhe, esq., is a social researcher, freelance and creative-story writer based in the sleepy village of Metsimotlhabe in the outskirts of his hometown of Gaborone, the capital of Botswana. He graduated from the University of Botswana (‘UB-Basco’) with a BA degree in Sociology and Public Administration, in 1991, before spending a further two years of graduate studies, in Sociology, at the UCT, in 1996/7. His current reading and writing interests cover the widest possible range of disciplinary areas and literary genres, including, but not limited to, history, ethnography, modern urban micro-sociological studies, contemporary journalese and reportage, popular fiction, memoirs, travelogues, life history, to mention but a few.

Daniel, the book, is quite a deep and engaging read that frequently reminds the reader of such canons of colonial literature in Africa as Joseph Conrad’s Heart of Darkness, set in the Congo at about the same time. And, as one reviewer elsewhere has observed, this historical novel broaches an important subject that is as relevant today as it was more than a century ago.READ THE WHOLE REVIEW
