Malawi.Malawi, the saga continues… adventure, travel, romance, business and some sales. Long before e-mails and cell phones appeared to second guess you; screw with your mind and your decision making. John typed only one report a month; made no long distance phone calls; made his own decisions; was in fact the company CEO for Africa.Africa in the 1960’s was a continent newly ‘Freed from Colonialism’. John was a white, British, expat. – “An old Colonial".Titled as ‘Marketing Manager, Africa,’ he traveled though some 20 out of the then 42 African countries selling his UK company products. How he survived, how he did business, how he lived, what he saw… how he was welcomed make for a unique tale.Malawi is an unheard of ‘little’ country located on Africa’s eastern side. David Livingstone walked through it; en route to more Africa; nothing much to loot; surrounded by warring neighbors. John gives us an insight, shy of modern political correctness, of how things were: how things got done: Africa as real Africa; from right there.You smell the wind in his descriptions see the truth of his experiences.
