Betrayal in the City
Introducing Betrayal in the City.
The play Betrayal in the City is set in a fictional African country name Kafira in the post independence era. During this period, Africans end up disappointed when the African leaders they had hoped to bring change become perpetrators of corruption, dictatorship, nepotism and assassinations.
Betrayal in the City is a story of Kafira, a fictional Independent country headed by Boss.The country is experiencing political upheavals that are a result of an oppressive dictatorial government. Social evils such as corruption, nepotism, arbitrary arrests and assassinations have become common in Kafira.
A demonstration is organised by concerned university students to protest against the influx of expatriate specialists/workers. This leads to the death of a student, Adika, who is shot by a police officer –Chagaga.
It is after Adika’s funeral that Mosese, a lecturer is arrested for criticising the government’s actions. After the funeral, Jusper, Adika’s brother, kills Chagaga in revenge and throws his body into a river. Jusper is later arrested for the offence.
Two soldiers, Jere and Mulili are sent to Adika’s home to prevent his parents from holding the customary shaving ceremony in his wake. On arrival they find Nina and Doga, Adika’s parents, preparing for the shaving ceremony.
Confronted by the situation, Jere decides to allow Nina and Doga to continue with the ceremony but Mulili firmly disagrees. The two soldiers quarrel leading to Jere’s arrest. Because of an impending visit of a foreign head of state, Boss decides to have a play staged by prisoners as part of the guest’s entertainment. Mosese and Jere are therefore approached and requested to take part in the play. Boss promises to set free 600 prisoners if the project is successful.
Mr. Tumbo, Boss’ right hand man, approaches Jusper asking him to write a play for the occasion. He promises Jusper good payment in return. Jusper agrees to write a play which is later acted by Jere and Mosese.
A prisoner falls ill before the rehearsals and therefore Boss offers to step in. Later he orders his guards to give him their guns to be used as props after realising that the props weren’t ready. Using the guns, the actors challenge Boss and his cronies in a cleverly crafted coup. Jusper shoots Mulili in revenge.

Hi jon you have great notes I appreciate that. Can you start a forum where people share and discuss issues in the said books? If you have one kindly notify me. Much appreciated.
i am greatfulfor that betrayal summary. i would like you to help me by giving me the guidelines of writing good essay
Hi Ann. Writing a good essay depends on several key factors:
1.) You must have read and understood the set book in question. If you are a KCSE candidate, I say you read the text at least five times before the exams. If in college/University, then at least two times.
2.) Reading the question at hand severally and thoroughly.
3.) Jotting down the key points needed in answering the question at hand.
4.) Divide your work into 6 paragraphs (for KCSE).
5.) The first paragraph will be the introduction in which you must demonstrate an understanding of the question asked. Here, you may choose to rephrase the question or make a general statement that demonstrates that you have understood the demands of the question. You may also introduce by mentioning the key points that the essay will address.
6.) In the second paragraph, mention you first key point and support it by using illustrations from the text.
7.) The third, fourth and fifth paragraphs will carry your second, third and fourth points respectively. This must, in all cases, be supported with appropriate illustrations from the text.
8.) The last paragraph (para. 6) will constitute the summary of what you have mentioned in paragraph 2-5. This will form the basis of your conclusion. This paragraph is ideally, 3-4 lines only.
9.) In all cases, remember to stay within the topic/question in order to be relevant.
10.) Re-read your work to check for errors and ensure cohesion before you hand it in.
I hope that helps.

Hi Anicious. I’m sorry you find literature difficult. It really isn’t. First, learn to enjoy it then everything else will fall into place. Don’t look at literature from an examination perspective. Enjoy the stories first and foremost before thinking of notes and exams. I wish you all the best in your literature lessons and exams.
