The Trail of a Promiscuous Spouse

About the Book

In fact Samantha was convinced that her husband Tito, as she preferred calling him was having an affair with the pretty housemaid…… Wanting to set a trap for her husband, Samantha did not inform Tito when he returned home from work that evening that the maid was away for the weekend…. As soon as Tito closed the bathroom door, Samantha promptly dashed along the corridor, out at the back, went round the house, on to the verandah and into the maid’s bedroom. She just had the time to switch the lights off when the door quietly opened and closed again…. Momentarily he had taken off all her under wears and got on top of her….. When he had finished and still panting, Samantha said “You didn’t expect to find me in this bed, did you?” and switched on the light. “No indeed, Madam, I didn’t,” said in a very low voice the young man who lodged next door…. That was the condemned night when the illicit affair between Samantha and Toby had begun many years ago and it had continued unabated since then and remained under the lid undiscovered until that fateful day when Marjorie was taken to hospital ill, in the middle of the night.

He later obtained college degrees in Agronomic Engineering, Agronomy, and Environment Management.

Given his exposure to the work of the UNCCD, he worked with diverse stakeholder groupings, facilitating conferences of multilateral negotiations between country Parties, institutions and organizations. In the later years, his work with the UNCCD, also involved policy advocacy and partnership building between countries and development partners (donors). During his young and more adventurous years, Emmanuel participated in the Second Chimurenga that brought about the independence of Zimbabwe. It was his experiences in that war that inspired his book, The Audacity of Breaking Free. He is also the author of: The farm on their land, The Intricate Mediators of the Land Reform in Zimbabwe and Thou shall not be caught
