Mixed Legacy is an intriguing, riveting and captivating novel. I enjoyed every bit of it. Though fictional, there is a lot to learn from the novel especially for those in investigative journalism. I recommend not only for students and practitioners of journalism and mass communication to read it, but also those that are interested in searching for knowledge on contemporary issues in this dynamic world. The novel portrays a culture of hard work, selflessness, courageousness and dedication to whatever you do, be it a formal job or a business undertaking. It teaches us somehow the hustles investigative journalists undergo. It also teaches us to be factual with our reporting especially now with the advent of fake news. Mtolankhani was a dedicated investigative journalist who did not want to report on tittle-tattle but went an extra mile even using his personal resources to dig out the truth of the story before he could consider to publish it - now that's dedication! The novel also gives us a picture on how endangered whistleblowers might be. Hence, protection of whistleblowers is cardinal in creating a better and conducive environment for investigative journalism.
True to his company's slogan "truth is freedom", Mtolankhani's hard work and dedication for the search of factual news and stories freed him at last. However, I would have loved to see what happened between him and the whistleblower, Ing'utu Sibetta whom he seemingly fell for in the process of his assignment. I guess this was saved for part II. I would also have loved to see Josiphati Banda, the blackmailer to live and face the wrath of the law so as to send a signal to other business conglomerates who are in the habit of influencing and arm twisting governments, especially from developing countries to pass policies and laws that favour them at the detriment of the poor people and the country at large. All in all, the novel tells that journalism is an important tool to uncover the truth and an imperative for economic development. I can picture a forthcoming Zambian movie titled "Mixed Legacy". Bravo Fackson!
