Description
For Catherine Goddard and her son, Mathew, their decision to cross the Limpopo as part of a settler wagon train is one borne of desperation and a boy's need to be a reunited with his father. For three months their ox-drawn trek wagon stands as their only defence against the African wilderness and the bloodlust of Lobengula Khumalo's warring impis. From the latter part of the 19th century, 'Sons of Africa' runs inexorably to the demise of Rhodesia's white minority rule and the emergence of the new Zimbabwe.
