RUMOURS
by Prof Mongane Wally Serote.
Keke, an MK cadre who was once a CEO of a cellphone company, wakes up one day to find his life in ruins. He has lost his job and his wife and has become more and more reliant on the solace of alcohol. After hitting rock bottom, Keke is thrust into a spiritual journey. He meets Ami, a shaman from Mali, and travels there where he is "cooked" and cleansed in a meeting with his ancestors. Only when he is healed and understands his role in the context of post-apartheid South Africa, can Keke make a careful comeback to his country to rejoin his wife and comrades. The global village, the African continent and South Africa are the platform where Keke's life unfolds in the 21st century.
