Two Suitcases

It is 1980 and Rhodesias flag, proudly flown for fifteen years, no longer exists. In the wake of a cruel Bush War, Rhodesia has succumbed to Mugabes Black Nationalism. Whites are enjoying a fulfilling existence without any idea that Zimbabwe will soon descend into an abyss of corruption, incompetence, and mismanagement.

The Morgans and Krugers are like all the other white Rhodesians carving out a new life in Zimbabwe. James and Suzette Morgan and their two children have moved onto Andriess farm, Slagters Nek, and are renovating it after its dereliction during the Bush War. Andries and Colleen have moved to Durban, South Africa, and are living off their payments from James. Gareth and Barbara have retired and are looking forward to relying on his comfortable, government pension for income. Eric and his new wife, Maisie, have put down roots in South Africa. But everything is about to change when Mugabe notices his popularity diminishing and sets off a chain of events with dire consequences that affects all of them.

Two Suitcases: Descent in Darkness shares the compelling saga of two families as they attempt to move forward after the events of the Bush War lead to the founding of Zimbabwe.
