Book 1: Roots and Culture.
Chapter 1
Dez or Desmond was born and raised in a small town in a small, insignificant Souther African country. The residents of his town worked in a nearby coal mine or an iron and steel plant. The town had been established during colonialism. The crowded settlement for the blacks was built on the windward side, to ensure that they breathed in all the factory gas emissions. The smaller, neater, roomier settlement for the whites was strategically positioned so that the wind passed from it, to the factory and then to the blacks, probably just to show them another example of European civilization and enlightenment.
Dez was born on the stroke of independence. Now, a mass exodus of white people took place, for they had lost their privileged positions and they were racists who did not want to be under black rule. Most of all, they feared that the blacks would want revenge for the evils that had been perpetrated against them in a century of colonialism. The whites who could afford it left. England was only taking back those whites that had money. The ones that didn't migrated to neighboring countries that were still under white settler rule, for Nelson Mandela was not yet released from bondage and raised to a world Hero, and the children of Adolf were still ruling Namibia. The whites who remained behind barricaded themselves behind their walls, sent their kids to exclusive, white only schools and kept themselves isolated from the blacks, even though the hand of reconciliation was extended to them.
The people in the black settlement where Dez grew up were proud of their African roots. The face of the settlement changed after independence. The white colonial settlers had put legislation in place, prohibiting blacks from building big, spacious brick houses, saying Africans were used to dwelling in trees and mud huts and anything else would confuse and destroy them. It was all part of the plan to keep the blacks underdeveloped, by these guys who acted as if they invented the wheel (Egyptians), mathematics (Arabs) and called tea their traditional drink although it wasn't grown in any province of England, unless India was located somewhere near Ipswich or Westminster, and belonged to a gentleman named Earl Grey or something. That legislation had since been overturned and some Africans were building impressive Villas with swimming pools and what not, leading one jealous white settler to say, "Shit! You cant keep a nigger down!"
However, the noxious gas emissions from the mine were a constant reminder that their land had once been colonized by the skinless, knee less people (as whites were commonly called locally) and that their people had waged a bitter guerrilla war for independence, a fact which filled all the black people with pride. However, they did not hate white people for it was not in the nature of Africans to hate another race. And watching TV and movies they were even brainwashed into believing that the white people were civilized and nice and that the streets of Europe, USA (huge island robbed by white men) and Australia (some island populated by the descendants of English convicts) were paved with gold.
The population of the town consisted of various national folks, as well as migrants from Malawi, Zambia, South Africa and practically every Southern African country.
They had different customs, cultures, religions and languages, but this was never a problem. Of course, people made jokes about each other. However, when it came down to it, either you were nice and respectful and they liked you, or you were funny in some funny way and they didn't like you. Dez grew up with so many kids from different countries that by the time he was 6, he could speak five different languages, which was normal for most people in town.
The locals, whether rich or poor, loved life and they were happy. The sun would shine all the time and the people were of a good disposition. They liked song and dance. They turned their music up loud, danced wherever they heard a nice song, laughed heartily and walked with smiles on their faces. They were very hospitable and friendly. However, they were very proud people; if you disrespected them, and they were sure it was intentional, the wise adults would avoid you, and the younger men or women could insult or even bash you, for they had the blood of warriors flowing through their veins.
Dez' dad owned a supermarket and Dez grew up helping out there. His mom was a secretary in a school. Mom was a tall, busty woman with a butt like Mama Africa, real big. She was good natured and happy, with a loud, cheery voice, but if you were cheeky and stubborn like Dez, she could get dangerous, and send a high heeled shoe flying after you at high velocity. Dez had a younger brother and sister, a set of twins, two years younger than him. His mom loved her children like a mother hen. In the evenings, she would feed them hearty food, tell them stories and play a drum, teaching them traditional song and dance. Some of the dances were very naughty and raunchy, with a lot of ass shaking and hip rolling.
Dez dad had a second wife, with whom he had two kids. It was normal that men could have as many wives as they afford it and satisfy. Sometimes his dad slept at his mom's house sometimes he slept at his other woman's. Dez called the second wife mom too and her kids were like his own siblings to him. His mom and the other wife got along well, and the kids moved freely between both homes. In fact, initially, the second wife had lived in their house and shared his parents bedroom. When he started knowing about sex, Dez would sometimes wonder if his dad had fucked both women at once. He never asked though and the old boy never told. This tradition was unacceptable for modernized, westernized young women, but some of their husbands had affairs or fucked whores behind their backs anyway, and they fucked the milk man or the post boy, so it seemed like a case of "Who is fooling who?"
The population of the town was split between several religious beliefs. There was a migrant community of Malawians who were Muslim, however, the majority were either Christians or traditionalists, though this could change quite easily. For example, when a Christian had problems, he quite often said a prayer with the pastor and then went to seek a shaman. By the same token, a traditionalist would visit a shaman and then go to seek a church Pastor's powerful prayer for him. The reasoning was simply that a two pronged attack was most effective.
Dez' mom was a Christian and took him to church every Sunday. His dad on the other hand would go to the beer garden, kindly asking his mom to slip in a prayer for him and his drinking mates. Dez' dad was an atheist. He always said,
"The white man came around, said lets close our eyes and pray and when we opened our eyes, he had given us the Bible and taken away everything else. So, don't tell me about a Kingdom way up in the sky, that you and I, can never reach till the day we die."
Dez' had a "wife", Patricia, whom everybody called Trish. In the old days, there had been a practice of arranged marriages, whereby a rich man could give a poorer family wealth for their new born daughter. When she had come of age, she would then have to marry him or one of his sons. This sometimes caused major fracases, if for example, the girl then fell in love with someone else, of her choice, or if she turned out to be ugly, lazy or undesirable for some reasons.
This was not however the case with Dez and Trish. The thing was, their moms were best friends, went to church together and had conceived them practically at the same time. Trish was a couple of weeks older than Dez. Her mom always jokingly called him her son in law, just like his mom called Trish her daughter in law.
