A propos du livre

À propos de l'auteur

Born in South Africa of English Settler stock, the author grew up in Swaziland where he learned to speak and understand the Swazi culture. After leaving school he was employed on a cattle ranch as a hunter to control wild animal attacks on the cattle. He moved to Rhodesia where he joined the police force before taking up a career in commercial farming. During the Rhodesian struggle for Independence he served in the Police Anti Terrorist Unit for 12 years. At the end of the war Ken moved to Swaziland on contract to a sugar estate. On completion of his contract he started a successful cleaning and tree felling business in Durban before buying a farm in Kwa Zulu Natal where he bred crocodiles and grew bananas. Because of his love of Zimbabwe he sold his farm in South Africa and returned to Zimbabwe to farm. In 2003 he and his wife were forced, under threat of death by war veterans sponsored by Mugabe, to abandon their farm. They left with nothing and settled in the UK. Ken and his wife Collette have six children and eleven grandchildren. Their family are scattered all over the world. Ken now uses his wide experiences in Africa to write books set in the country he loves.
