1917 – Hundreds of Black South African men volunteer to aid Britain’s fight in World War 1 – each for their own reasons. The incentives are enticing: lucrative salaries beyond their dreams and a lingering hope that their participation in the war will result in humane treatment for Black South Africans; and perhaps even a right to vote. Among the volunteers is Sihlangu Ngobese, who leaves his love, Brigitte, and sails off on the SS Mendi. But tragedy strikes when the ship sinks off in the English channel in a catastrophic accident, causing great loss of life. The consequences unravel like ripples through history. Will Sihlangu survive the sinking of the Mendi
and the dangers of the war? If he does, will Brigitte still be waiting?
A captivating account of the real-life sinking of the SS Mendi by award winning novelist and a seasoned journalist Fred Khumalo.
