Chapter 1

Heart Snatcher

Employment opportunities became scarce in the still striving for development part of Southern Africa. It wasn't easy to get a job worse still a good one because of dying slowly economies with poor standards of living. The region maintained dirty and nasty roads at the entrance and around a small town called Rockland just a couple of miles from the clustered city centre with old buildings. There are water pipes, no flush toilets in the overcrowded small town. The Electricity transmission company switches off electricity at nine o'clock in the evening and lights on at six o'clock in the morning.

One morning Henry Jackson woke up before dawn . He puts on one the two pants he owned for special occasions, a t shirt and his old farm shoe. He rolled off his sheets and got out of the cabin. He walked along the dust road . After walking less than three miles , he heard the sound of a vehicle blaring from a distance. He didn't see the vehicle at the moment and kept walking and the blaring sound drew near. He suddenly saw it was a brand new Ferrari seemingly to be coming from the low residential areas. The twenty-five year old boy kept on walking without even his face washed. The Ferrari stopped in front of him, A well dressed white man shouted from the car " Hey boy , how are you doing?" and Henry said coldly " Hello Sir.....can i help?"
