Candidate of Hell Lazarus Mbanje

My book, "Candidate of hell" presents a situation which is out of this world which was only managed by Jesus Christ alone. A dead father comes back from the dead as a ghost to tell his only son who was born after his demise the true story of his life. The story is heart tearing as Daglous is put through hell by his own father who only believes that a son can only be a strongman in future if he is molded along military discipline. The obstacle to Daglous' father was that Daglous himself did not want anything to do with the army training. Conflict explodes as the two engage in day to day scuffles as the young boy resist training while the father was determined to turn him into a fully flagged commando by the time he grows to a man. Daglous was a loser on each and everyone of the scuffles as he is beaten at every disagreement in the name of army discipline. As if that was not enough, events at home also affected things at school. Daglous's class teacher Miss Magoche does not take time to understand his problems. She also starts beating him as he fails to cope up with his school work. Left with nowhere to run Daglous finally says enough is enough and he runs away to the mining town of Zvishavane where he believes he will make a good life but alas the streets have their own mishaps and troubles. New challenges confront him as he tries to term life in the streets.
