The Briefcase, by Simao Kikamba Luyikumu

Simao Kikamba masterfully strings together a compilation of what we refer to as ‘true fiction’, fictional stories based on real life experiences. Using the urban and peri-urban setting in Johannesburg, Kinshasa and Luanda as context, the author skillfully uses his wit, humour and powerful narrative to explore the topical themes of human trafficking, police over-handedness, the tussle between Diaspora and ‘home’, sex and infidelity, religion and human imperfections.
