As a result of this, 18-year-old Tendai is forced to leave his private school in Harare, which his father’s escaping boss had paid for, and go to live in his stepmother Abigail’s village, Mangwe Ford, with his father, who is unwell and in a state of shock following recent events, his brother Amos and sisters Memory and Gugu. On arriving, he meets and is immediately attracted to a young woman called Sibongile, but his excitement turns to horror shortly afterwards, when his brother Amos loses a leg and a hand in a landmine explosion. Tendai vows to do something about this terrible danger in the village. At the town hospital in Sikumi, Zola, a journalist and part-time volunteer, gives him someinformation about landmines and a list of companies which clear them, while the village chief, Uncle Winston, enlists the help of Tendai and Sibongile, which helps along these teenagers’ strong mutual attraction. She has also recently come from Harare and encourages him to tell the villagers the stories which he knows. And so, at sunset, by the village baobab tree, Tendai tells the story of Dragons’ Eggs (mines) as a way ofwarning the smaller children in the village to watch carefully where they walk. However, Sibongile is tragically killed by a landmine and the traumatised Tendai runs away. Lost in a safari park full of dangerous predators, he meets an old woman, Gogo, who helps him live a little easier with Sibongile’s death and the sounds of her voice in his head. He subsequently meets Mrs Ndlovu who runs the safari park and is also deputy mayor. During Tendai’s short period as her driver, she promises to look into the landmine situation. However, finding himself in Sikumi, where Amos is recovering in hospital from his trauma, Tendai runs away, from Mrs Ndlovu, embarrassed by her sexual advances. At the hospital, he meets his father, with whom he goes to see Mayor Kapuya, soon realising that the latter’s account of the missing money from the original Mangwe Ford landmine project is different from Mrs Ndlovu’s. Having learnt from the mayor’s secretary that Bart Gresham of Victoria Falls was the intended landmine expert for the survey,Tendai sets off on the thousandkilometre journey to see him. He is lucky when a truck driver, Don McInley, gives him a lift as far as Victoria Falls and even arranges an appointment for him to see Gresham the next morning. While Gresham’swife takes Tendai to see Victoria Falls, Gresham finds the documents and confirms that the Zimbabwean government money must have disappeared in Sikumi. Bart and Tendai then go back there to confront Kapuya who, it turns out, has already fled towards the Mozambique border following the discovery that Mrs Ndlovu is also investigating the disappearance of the money. This road passes through Mangwe Ford,and Bart, his dog Kit, Tendai, his father and Inspector Ncube chase down the mayor’s crashed car, and then Kit tracks down Kapuya himself. The story makes front page news, Mrs Ndlovu becomes the new mayor, striking a deal with Bart on the landmine survey project. At Mangwe Ford, the villagers prepare to leave for their temporary lodgings so that Kit can sniff out the killer landmines, while Tendai decides to work as a sports instructor in the care home where his brother Amos will be sent. The story ends with Tendai at Sibongile’s grave, finally accepting that her tragic death has not been in vain as the people of Mangwe Ford will be able to live safely in the future.Before reading1.
