Ralston Raft in the Dance Fire
In addition, he enjoys reading politics and philosophy. The humour of Spike Milligan and Monty Python played a formative role during his years as a young adult. Kelvin is a service-minded individual who has belonged to Jaycees International and has been a serving member of the Lions Club of Port Shepstone since He is married to Anita and they have three young adult children: James, Bradley and Kate. What is the book about? The story brings together diverse characters: The marginalisation, dispossession and detribalisation of the San are some of the many underlying themes in the book.
The "dance fire" refers specifically to the San trance dance; the reader will, however, find it to be a metaphor as the main character, Ralston Raft, faces inescapable existential dilemmas. Southern Africa is presented in a style which provides the reader with a genuine feel, without being hindered by laborious tracts of text.
The publisher is Pegasus Publishers. How did you come up with the story? I have been a regular visitor to Botswana on camping safaris for the past 10 years. In my readings on Botswana, I came across the legend of the founder of Ghanzi, a man called Hendrik van Zyl. He is said to have hidden his fortune in caves west of the Delta. Van Zyl was also known to have exploited the San who inhabited the area in the s. This became the seedbed from which the story evolved. Why did you associate your novel with the Political Science Department at Unisa? I firmly believe that my studies in Political Science, together with a second year course in Philosophy, equipped me conceptually to write a novel which speaks to the many issues which characterise the political history of Southern Africa.
Practising as a trained Pharmacist, why did you choose to study politics? Politics has been a topic of discussion and debate in the Hulley family since my early childhood. Military service and a degree at Rhodes University in the early s served to further conscientise me politically. My early postgraduate years were spent in Pietermaritzburg at Edendale Hospital.
It was during that time, that I met Clive Napier. During the late s Clive was able to visit my home while on lecture tours to Durban. South Africa, at that time was in dire straits. Why did you choose Unisa to study for your degree? Unisa was the only and obvious choice. I was a community pharmacist with my own business and a young family to provide for. What are your influences? I do not think any of us can escape our childhood.
My family, uncles and cousins were all politically aware. My father was an early supporter of the Progressive Party under the leadership of Helen Suzman; this at a time when the general political will was heading in the opposite direction. I believe I was exposed to rationalism, fairness and social justice at a young age. Durban High School taught me discipline and independence, and as a consequence of that, I learnt self-discipline.
Military service introduced the ability to endure physical and mental hardship. Those of us who attended boarding school in the late sixties would have found moving from boarding school to the military to be a seamless transition! BW- 84 mins, CC,.
