Claudette Harring, recommends the following books and movie. Claudette led the group of twelve from the Wisconsin River Valley Conference in 2010 when they traveled in pairs visited their respective six matched parishes.

The No.1 Ladies Detective Agency (series) - Alexander McCall Smith   The books are set in Botswana, the country from which many in the Madikwe Circuit have their roots.  They are very true to the culture and are both light reading and delightful.

 

Cry, the Beloved Country - Alan Patton

 

Non-fiction:

A Long Walk to Freedom - Nelson Mandela

 

A World with a Human Face" A Voice from Africa - Njongonkula Ndungane 

 

Playing the Enemy - John Carlin

 

Also, the movie, Invictus, would be a great one to view.
