Autoren-Porträt von Trevor Frost
After completing his training with the Rhodesian Army in 1968, Trevor Frost found himself in the right place at the right time. A stroke of luck catapulted him into what became his life work—exploration diamond drilling. This book is the first part of his story in this little known but adventurous career.A few years later, with his wife and two young sons, he moved to Selebi-Phikwe, Botswana, to take up the position of MD for R. A. Longstaff [Botswana (Pty) Ltd]. There they experienced the transformation of Botswana when diamonds were discovered.
In 2000 he experienced a serious heart attack, followed by major heart surgery. The damage to his heart forced him to retire, and he and his wife packed up and moved to Port Alfred in the Eastern Cape. Their two sons remain in Botswana. Darrin manages a drilling company in Selebi-Phikwe, and Dion manages his own construction company in Francistown.
