Frikkie and Plug

By Ian Martin

Do you want to get rich quick, have a lot of possessions and live extravagantly? Frikkie and Plug will demonstrate how to go about it. But first you must accept that a social conscience is of no use to a South African entrepreneur. If you never let morality or ethics stand in the way of making a fast buck, you can go from rags to riches without busting a gut. All that you need is a sharp idea and a willingness to exploit the gullible, the greedy and the venal.

Ian Martin

At the age of 50 Ian Martin gave up his regular job and moved to a remote coastal village near the southern tip of Africa. Drawing on his experiences as an insurance clerk, naval store man, lavatory attendant, assistant farm foreman,temporary school teacher, hospital orderly, weather station medic and house builder, he began the next phase of his life. Now, after more than a decade, he has produced three novels, a fictionalized autobiography and many short articles and stories, and he is still writing. When asked how he has been able to survive for so long without having written a bestseller, he says he is entirely dependent on his wife, who goes out to work. Otherwise he would have died from starvation.
