Description
Confluence: Beyond the River with Siseko Ntondini by Piers Cruickshanks tells the true story of the unlikely partnership between two canoeists from very different backgrounds. Cruickshanks and Siseko Ntondini came together through their shared ambition to compete in the gruelling Dusi Canoe Marathon and pursue the ultimate goal of winning a Dusi gold medal.
The book follows their journey, from the development of their partnership to the challenges they faced on and off the river. With humour, honesty and personal reflection, Cruickshanks explores the friendship that grew between the two men and the obstacles they overcame together. Their story inspired the acclaimed South African film Beyond the River.
A good choice for readers interested in South African sport, canoeing, true stories, friendship and inspirational sporting journeys.
