Summary:
"The Yellow Teacup is a collection of fourteen vivid stories that capture the trials and tribulations of ordinary people just before and after Zimbabwe's independence. Written in simple language, the stories tackle important political, economic and social issues that have a direct bearing on their lives. The land hunger, racism, street kids, prostitution, the government's reviled urban clean-up that left thousands homeless and the effect of the RENAMO war on Zimbabwe are the themes which the author, John Gambanga, a veteran writer and award-winning journalist weaves to create readable and amazingly credible and fascinating stories."--Back cover
