more (at source): It is not hard to see why. The book's publication, and the astonishing world it opens up, is further evidence of the tenacity and desire that took a young boy across a vast continent.

''My motivation is to make money to pay my law studies which cost 27,000 rands a year [£2,000]," he said "and to get my two brothers through school. I have put them into a boarding school in Uganda."

Makes you wonder though, amazing as his story is, is it all true. All that wandering from such a young age no formal schooling at all but he`s computer literate and keeps in touch with others like himself on a computer. He lost his whole family but is putting two younger brothers through school where and when did his parents turn up to give him two brothers if he was alone with an uncle who abandoned him.. I know, I`m being very cynical but his story is hard to believe.
