    André Ferero

    André Ferero is a South African writer who has been living in France since July 2006. Even though his love for Africa hasn't diminished during that time, he is not complaining about living in the kingdom (well, Republic) of food and wine.His interests include photography, reading, (good) movies, hiking, wine tasting, traveling and trying to figure out this experience called life. Music is one of his biggest loves and he listens to almost anything, from old to new.He writes as often as possible. He describes his fiction as speculative, with a focus on the characters in possible futures. He has also just finished a South African guidebook that is different from all other guidebooks on the topic and will be very helpful to travelers who want to plan their own trip to Southern Africa.

      1: Introduction

      I used to be a smoker. I loved cigarettes as much as the next person. Every morning after waking up I did not even attempt to fight the need to smoke. I loved smoking so much that I was unable to delay lighting that first cigarette of the day. I remember how - once it was lit - I inhaled the smoke thankfully deep into my desperate lungs. Like all other smokers I also enjoyed the camaraderie of smoking with friends after a good meal, I loved smoking while drinking a hot cup of coffee or a cold beer. One of my favourite places to smoke was when I was driving on the open road with music as my only company. When I inhaled each breath of smoke I believed life couldn't get any better.
