Itumeleng Tladi

When Itumeleng Tladi enters the dining room at Dinaledi Lodge, heads turn: all the men want to be him; all the women want to sleep with him.

He is a powerful presence, well built, strong featured and sporting a smile that supports the shining humour and intelligence in his eyes. He knows he is charming, he knows he is powerful, and he knows he is on the verge of becoming the chief of his people. He has no qualms about taking over the chieftaincy from his father, Rratladi; he carries the confidence of his birthright and knows he has been groomed for the job since the day he was born.
