È il gennaio del 2020 quando Ralph Core vola in Zimbabwe per raccogliere materiale per il suo nuovo libro. Vuole scrivere della diga di Kariba, un’opera colossale e avveniristica che sbarra il fiume Zambesi e dal 1960, grazie al lavoro ingegneristico di alcune imprese italiane, fornisce energia idroelettrica al paese centrafricano e a quelli vicini. I lavori, che all’epoca avevano costretto 70.000 indigeni Tonga ad abbandonare tra tensioni e rivolte le fertili rive dello Zambesi e della Gwembe Valley, erano stati però considerati non solo un’opportunità ma una ferita inferta a Nyaminyami, il dio del fiume.
