The text from Old Chief Mshlanga by Doris Lessing on a map of the district of Banket, in the Lomagundi area of Zimbabwe.
This work has the entire text from the short story The Old Chief Mshlanga by Doris Lessing from her collection of short stories This Was the Old Chief’s Country (1952). This text is laid over a map showing an area of Zimbabwe where I believe the farm she talks about in the story is located.
