Description

It’s 2008. Thabo Mbeki is about to be ousted as president. The South African ANC-led government sends Morati Sello, a young, attractive banker, on a study tour to Australia, to prepare him for the take over of a new development bank back home.

Throughout his travels across New South Wales, without much effort on his part, Morati attracts the attention of a string of hot-blooded and sexually liberated women. He has copious amounts of sex, breaking taboo after taboo as the only black man at the dinner party.

As he travels the outback, he also learns about Australia’s history, its politics and Prime Minister Rudd’s controversial “Apology” to its Aboriginal people. Via Skype, he stays in touch good friend, Pax Pakane, who updates him on the latest news about the Zuma/ Mbeki feud, while Morati shares the intimate details of his visit Down Under.
