All those Sepp tales are stories about war, refugees, money, sex, religion, apartheid, food and very common issues, such as habits of the job and activities, addiction, enslavement and finally a spiritual awakening. 

When Sepp gets fired after more than 10 years at the same workplace he is very disappointed, and has trouble dealing with being severely depressed. Unable to admit that over the years he had become enslaved to certain habits, including sex and alcohol. When confronted by making a choice between a sober and simple life or the loss of his wife, and Sepp is not willing to give her up.

Sepp is ready to work, and more important our Sepp has papers. There are the certificates for the completed apprenticeship as waiter, the apprenticeship as a cook, and an apprenticeship as Hotel manager. He also has a hotel school letter showing 7 years of Hotel school with his apprenticeships and above average high marks. 

After a short stay in Andalusia, Sepp and his wife return to Hamburg. Visiting the consulates of Canada, Australia and South Africa, Sepp is comparing offers to each of those. The thoughts of riches such as Uranium, Gold and Diamonds, as well as the fast growing tourist industry along the beaches of the Indian Ocean made it easy to make the choice.

Once arriving in Johannesburg, Sepp hires on at a 5-star All-Suites hotel. Here he experiences the world of the famous, the affluent, the rich and the want-to-be-somebody in an Apartheid Era South Africa. 

His photo next to famous personalities is seen by people back in Hamburg aside from other places around the globe. 

Sepp’s Goldminecity story provides much insight into South Africa during the seventies and takes the reader deep into the workings of hospitality in a five star hotel.
