Fiction

Zita and her family lose everything when a fire destroys the low-income settlement where they live. Some of the neighbors think it was an accident, but Zita, a young law student, starts investigating to find out who is responsible. She discovers that not just her former settlement, but most of the city’s infrastructure was built on corrupt deals, ignoring safety standards and putting the citizens at risk. She starts a social media campaign to uncover the dirty deals and raise awareness – which means stepping on dangerous ground, and soon the threats start coming in. Did the young woman bite off more than she can chew or will she really make a difference in the fight against corruption? This story was written by Chrispin Mwakideu (Kenya)

All Randolph (Antony Ndung'u) wanted was to reduce and recycle waste in his town with a new garbage collection service.

Pritesh prefers to sit in his crumbling house and watch TV all day, despite great disapproval from his wife and mother-in-law. Things look set to continue that way until the family stumbles upon a treasure map of the loot Pritesh’s great great great grandfather stole in the Great Train Robbery of 1888. And so begins the hunt for the fortune that will change their lives. But what with nosy neighbours and cryptic clues, things don’t go too smoothly for the ill fated bunch.
