Dana Snyman 
The Long Way Home 
A journey through South Africa

Renowned travel writer Dana Snyman goes in search of his roots as he grapples with his place in South Africa today. He starts this distinctly South African story with the first Snyman, born of a white father and a slave mother. His travels take him off the beaten track, and his encounters with the forgotten people of the back roads are filled with the humour and compassion he is known for.On a last trip home, to visit his seriously ill father, he also goes looking for the homes of Julius Malema and Jacob Zuma.Honest, moving, yet filled with hope and a uniquely South African humour.
