Chimurenga Children, by Jillian Young Gorton 

Harare, Zimbabwe, April 18th, 1980, and international figures from Prince Charles to Bob Marley are gathered for the Independence ceremony, after a bitter fifteen-year war for majority rule, called the Chimurenga.

As William and the head dispute, an armed female ZANU-PF soldier walks into the school, needing help with a broken-down vehicle. But what does she really want? And how can they get rid of her before the situation gets out of hand?

Andrew Peric must discover the root of his anxiety. But can Mugabe be treated like any other patient?
