Opis

"OUT OF AFRICA ALWAYS SOMETHING NEW..." Mamma Beauty Bambaleesa is a marriage broker in the village of Qua-Ka-Ka in the Ciskei... Not only this, she is an adviser to many... Her adventures in regard to her profession make for hilarious reading.... She goes to Egoli and to Sun City... She needs to find a new bride for the President of South Africa, Lacob Juma, a much married man... Along the way she encounters witch-doctors, pastors, schoolmasters, tsotsis, pole dancers, gamblers, erotic movies... Her long suffering husband Ndonwabile, is Chief of Police in Qua-Ka-Ka.... Her friend Katie Tshabalala in Egoli (Johannesburg) is in trouble. Her Madam wants to let her go... Mamma Bambaleesa helps her in her predicament... One client, calling himself Sammy Davis, needs a bride...she tries to assist... Ned Livingstone has written this book, tongue in cheek. It is a worthy successor to his book "The Xhosa Double," which is a spoof on South African politics... "Mamma Bambaleesa" is about Africa of today, where tribal customs die hard...and smart phones are used... The reader will be amused from start to finish...
