The Sands Shall Witness is about two people who find love in the most unlikely situation but who struggle to keep their relationship alive amidst geopolitical turmoil. Covering themes such as courage, love, resistance, tragedy, colonialism, ethnocentrism, cultural clash, and genocide, the novel paints a vivid picture of the consequences arising from prejudiced attitudes, exploitations, and power dynamics that shaped the bloody battles between the German colonists and the native Herero and Nama people.
Facing the abyss of poverty and starvation after his father's death, Conrad's life takes an unexpected turn when his uncle Johannes helps him land the position as an aide to the Commissioner of the DSWA, one of Germany's colonies. Excited about the new opportunity and adventure that awaited, Conrad embarks on a journey that will change his life forever.
As the great ship Calypso docks at Walvis Bay and Conrad disembarks from the ship, he can't help but feel a mixture of anticipation and nervousness for what lies ahead. However, Conrad receives a rude and quick awakening about what life is like in Africa and how different it is from his expectations. Despite this, he assimilates into his job and works diligently as an aide to Commissioner Leutwein.
