Description
The Tug of War is a climate fiction novel set in Zambia’s Kafue Basin, where two fishermen, Bwalya and Maimbo, watch their once-abundant river begin to die. As fish stocks collapse and wildlife disappears, they uncover a web of pollution, plastic waste, poisoned waters, invasive species, poaching, floods, and wildfires — all intensified by climate change.
Determined to protect their homeland and way of life, the two men transform from ordinary fishermen into reluctant environmental advocates. With guidance from researchers, they rediscover the basin’s rich biodiversity and the fragile balance that once sustained both nature and community.
But their activism threatens powerful interests. False accusations, imprisonment, and devastating personal loss test their courage and loyalty. As the struggle escalates, Bwalya and Maimbo must decide how much they are willing to sacrifice for justice.
The Tug of War is a story of resistance, resilience, and the high cost of defending the environment in a world where profit often outweighs survival.
