What makes Pat Simmons, a retired engineer, give up his comfortable middle class living and wade across a crocodile infested river with a bicycle strapped to his back, in order to teach chess to schoolchildren at the Mission station?

‘Strangely all around him were hippos paddling, their ears twitching, seemingly oblivious to his presence – It was the strangest sight…. Occasionally the hippos would snort and rise to the surface yawning with a display of canine tusks that could snap that makoro in half with ease, yet that lone ishing boy kept retrieving his wicca nets without a care in the world.’

Shiloh Noone, radio presenter, poet and music aficionado, achieved a 4 star Rolling Stone award for his rock history book ' Seekers Guide to the Rhythm of Yesteryear' . His Arthur Lee inspired poetry book ' Forty- Two for Chosen Few' was celebrated with a foreword by USN Human Rights attorney Tom Rapp. Shiloh lives in Onrus, near Cape Town, where he runs his Matshana Tribal Arts museum and lodge.
