The Pangolin Club - Paperback

by Dabana Marotsi (Author)

The book explores how the political, economic, social policies of the government from the time of independence from the British government in 1980 have led to economic collapse. It highlights how corruption has resulted in the gap between the rich and the poor widening while, at the same time, there was a lot of disruption in the lives of ordinary people which saw them moving to different countries because of the dismal conditions that were a result of the corruption. It also touches on the issue of human trafficking and disregard of proper environmental practices that have led to ecological disasters and encouraged the outbreak of diseases such as cholera in certain areas.
