Sins Of The Fathers Timothy Epupa Ngenge

The story jointly unfolds in Lyongo, a village on the slopes of Mount Cameroon and the mountain forest. Mola Mbua, an old man whose life was heavily weighed down by the clutches of his lineage dies leaving behind his children in Lyongo village. Jongo, the first son and his siblings are determined to bar the way to that past that is out to deny them a future. Like their father and grandfathers before them, they are suddenly overtaken by the realities of their bloodline. Jongo deals so treacherously with his brothers and sister with no compunction or regard to what the father had laid down on his dying bed. Completely dispossessed, Molua Esuka and Eposi are left without any means of survival. As they contemplate their plight, a suitor comes for Eposi; the twins with their wives move up to the mountain caves as hunters. Molua and Esuka have one objective: to jointly work and save enough money before coming back to Lyongo. An unprecedented state of chaos and misunderstanding flares up between the two brothers. The animosity does not only ruin their trade and set the mountain ablaze, it destroys their family.
