In the mid-1990s, while many South Africans were returning home from exile, Adam Levin was developing itchy feet and turning the other way. Of his life in Johannesburg, he wrote: “I am growing weary of life in this jungle. This savage hunting for money and things … it is time to walk again. To walk till my feet turn a tar road back to dirt.” This led him on his Wonder Safaris, through 20 African countries, in search of what it means to be an African. It restored his “miracle eye”, and changed his life.

I heard gossip that he was sick with Aids. When I briefly spotted him at party a few years later, I couldn’t reconcile the frail looking man with the person I remembered. Soon after, I heard that he was at death’s door.
