The pigs were lying dead in the road. They weren’t just lying dead in the road but down the side of the mountain where the truck had toppled. A porcine bloodbath disfiguring the night-stained panorama. Disgusting and dramatic, and shamefully exciting…
…an absentminded violence not unfamiliar to the South African landscape.
Simply look and move on.
Author & Storyteller: Andrea Zanin
Andrea is a writer, wife, mother and dreamer; also the author of this website. She moved to London in 2006 to earn £s, travel, see bands and buy 24-up Dr Martens—which she did, and then ended up staying. Andrea lives in North London with her husband (also a Saffa) and five children. She loves this grand old city but misses her home and wishes her children could say “lekker” (like a South African) and knew what a “khoki” is.
