Unckle is a foreign national who escapes from Kashmir Province in Pakistan after attracting attention for leading protests against the Indian occupation of Kashmir. It is during a peaceful protest that he becomes a violent character after suffering at the hands of police during a protest march. Unckle is re-united with his brother - Barbar - and the two brothers make use of Barbar’s link to Beijing and the bosses of the State Security Firm. The tale unfolds as the two brothers agree to do the bidding of the Beijing masters. 

The international underworld of human trafficking, rhino horn poaching and the capture of money from the masses, takes a foothold in the coastal city of East London and Grahamstown.

Unckle will reach into the psyche of all Africans while the storyline will hold an international audience spellbound with the cultural background to three nations - Pakistan, China, South Africa, and in particular, the amaXhosa characters as the ancestors are invoked to deal with Rafiki Majosa and the foreigner, Barbar.

Andrew Hutchinson draws his experience from within the auctioneering, trading and wildlife arenas to bring you Unckle, a fictional/factual tour of the underbelly of the corrupt grab for Africa and her resources.
