Mafeking Road by Herman Charles Bosman

ISBN: 9780798128216 / 0798128216 - Mafeking Road by Herman Charles Bosman. Published by Human & Rousseau (Pty) Ltd, 1991. Softcover. Used, Good condition. 144 pp.

Set in the Groot Marico in South Africa the stories are told through the eyes of Oom Schalk. The stories are wonderfully crafted, funny, tragic, and with many twists and turns. Oom Schalk is at times the wise old man of the Bosveld, the village idiot, a racist, a thoughtful voice on race relations, a bumbling romantic and a skilled match-maker.

Oom Schalk gave Bosman the ability to craft stories that we love but where we can't escape the truth of South Africa's past.
