Stanford, John. - Inungi.

Mvusi 2018. 125pp illustrated paperback. A Mint unread copy. ISBN: 9780986979132 John Stanford was born in 1929 on Inungi, his father's farm in East Griqualand. After qualifying as a civil engineer and working for a short time in Canada he returned to Inungi to work alongside his father. In 1965 he took over the running of the farm. Cut off from the rest of the Kokstad district by the Umzimvuvu river, Inungi was mountainous and remote. Horses were indispensable for transport, fire and flood were ever-present hazards, living was exhilarating but tough for both farmers and farm-workers. This memoir spans John's life from his childhood years until 1984 when the farm was expropriated for inclusion in Transkei. In his factual and vigorous style he tells of the risks, disasters, joys, and satisfactions of a self-sustaining way of life.
