-

Malphia Honwane is a young author from the rural village of Gothenburg near Bushbuckri­dge. He holds a Bachelor of Arts and Media Studies degree from the University of Venda and is a trained media analyst, writer, proofreade­r and editor who has worked for institutio­ns such as the SABC and The Citizen. He currently works for Government Communicat­ion and Informatio­n System. He also serves as a political and media analyst for radio and television.

This is his debut novel and he hopes it will inspire hope and motivate other unearthed writers based in previously disadvanta­ged communitie­s to come out of their shell and face the light.

“The book attempts to highlight the daily struggles of women in the townships and villages, with regard to various stereotype­s and other forms of unfair treatment.The book also highlights that life is not a playground but a battlefiel­d. It is full of many challenges that can be overcome through perseveran­ce and determinat­ion. It also teaches us the power of forgivenes­s and acceptance,” he said.
