Thrown out of her home in President Moi's Kenya - where she lived 22 years - for reporting too freely what went on there, Mary Anne took to the road and explored Africa, venturing into any part dangerous enough to induce a newspaper to pay her expenses. Her adventures took her to Ethiopia where she came under fire from MiGs, to Liberia where she was threatened by drunken soldiers, to the Central African Republic where she was confronted with murder and poaching and to the Cote d'Ivoire where she sacrificed chickens to ancestral gods.
