Zebra Crossing (Hardcover)

Set during the 2010 World Cup, Zebra Crossing explores myth and malice in the Mother City.

As excitement about the World Cup grows, so do xenophobic tensions. Consequently, George and fellow Zimbabweans Peter and David attempt to exploit Chipo’s albinism and local superstitions about the condition to make their fortunes amongst the illegal soccer betting rings that have sprung up along the city’s infamous Long Street.

Their plan is to get rich quick and leave, before the violent rumours that all foreign africans remaining in the country after the final soccer match will be attacked, come to fruition. However, their scheme has disastrous consequences.
