Over my Shoulder - A much loved and revered figure still in Malindi today [1987], Dr Rozinger, has often told us the drama of those early days in Kakamega itself, as he and his wife, Joanna, knew it. They had come out from Vienna to the minefields in Kenya where he had been given a contract with a mining company as Medical Officer. Their story carried all the same quality of drama and vivid boiling excitement about which I had so often read of the gold rush days in Bendigo and Kalgoorlie in Australia.

Terence Gavaghan, Of Lions and Dungbeetles, 1999  He and his wife were Jewish, he from Hungary and she from Vienna. They were young middle aged in 1944 and Zoltan was qualified not only as a physician but also in psychiatry which he practised on me at every opportunity for decades thereafter. His smooth domed forehead appeared never to have been encumbered with hair and his dolefully comprehending eyes shone with gentle humour and sceptical compassion through enormous spectacles. Because his foreign qualifications were not recognized by the Medical Department he was only allowed to practise on contract first in Tanganyika and then at Macalder's Mines. When things became more relaxed he served for 40 years as a much loved doctor in Malindi, where his zany methods and passion for Strauss usually won him loving plauditsts and with Joan the annual ballroom dancing prize at the Sinbad Hotel. Joan was the quintessential culture of Viennese lady in the afterglow of the Austro-Hungarian Empire. Music, opera, literature, conversation, cafe society and a circle of devoted friends were her delight.
