Swahili for the Broken Hearted sees Peter Moore following the fabled Cape Town to Cairo route across Africa. After being dumped by the “ Girl Next Door”, Moore decides that the Dark Continent is the place in which to lose himself for a while; the ideal place to find solitude & anonymity in the face of personal crises.
