Items related to Beyond the Malachite Hills: A Life of Colonial Service...
What hope is there for Africa? Since the heady and hopeful days of decolonisation the story seems to be one of unrelenting disaster -- revolution; brutal military dictatorship; ethnic conflict and even genocide; civil war; state-threatening corruption; economic failure; and, in places, the complete breakdown of state and society. And all has been compounded by natural disasters -- drought, famine and the scourge of AIDS. But there is another, less reported, story of Africa; throwing off the colonial past, embracing modernity, learning fast, gaining in pride and self-confidence and embracing the crucial management function; all this in the context of fruitful collaboration with Europe and American business and, increasingly, with the rising Asian economic superpowers.
Jonathan Lawley paints a vivid and convincing picture of solid political, social and economic progress. Beyond the Malachite Hills is a remarkable testament to his long-lasting and profound involvement with this often misunderstood continent.

About the Author:
Review:
Jonathan Lawley runs the Southern African Business Forum where he combines his unique experience of the British Colonial Service, decolonization and business in modern Africa. He was born in India in the North-West Frontier Province where his father was in the Indian Engineering Service. After school and university in what was then called Southern Rhodesia, South Africa and Cambridge he joined the British Colonial Service in Northern Rhodesia and served in pre-independence Zambia. He has lived and worked throughout Africa, including in the Congo, Zimbabwe and Namibia.
""This is a remarkable book. Jonathan Lawley’s account of the elections in Rhodesia/Zimbabwe could not be bettered...His plan for the future of Africa and of his role in laying the foundation ....is an inspired piece of writing."" -- Professor Kenneth Ingram
""I regard Jonathan Lawley's book as an important contribution to the future development of Africa."" -- Sir Donald Tebbit
