Going Home to Africa is the story of Dot Bekker's journey home. Having left Zimbabwe, the country she was born and raised in, in 1981 and lived in 5 other countries on 2 continents, after 20 years in Europe, it was time to go home.
Her drive took her 8.5 months, 20 000 kms through 18 West African countries to get to Zimbabwe. She had the time of my life and celebrated her 60th birthday 4 days after arriving back in Africa, a milestone she was set on achieving.
