Description on the back cover: Here is a message for all South Africans and for the world ... and a prayer for peace.

What will happen to South Africa by 1989? Why must Nelson Mandela be released? Why must sanctions and disinvestment be avoided at all costs? Why must the burning of people alive be stopped?

With literary brilliance, Credo Mutwa - High Witchdoctor, "Prophet of Africa" and High Sanusi, spiritual leader and the world famous author of Indaba My Children and Africa is my Witness - skillfully brings home the message that South Africans must start negotiating for peace NOW - or perish in what could be the most violent race war known to man.

Ina remarkable style that mesmerises, Mutwa writes on racism around the world, apartheid, black on black violence and culture and religion. His message is that "South Africa needs salvation not crucifixion."

Includes an open letter to President PW Botha and strong directives to Oliver Tambo, Archbishop Desmond Tutu and everyone manipulating South Africa's future.
