My Books
Mphatso is born into silence and sorrow a boy raised among whispers, secrets, and shadows. In the forgotten village of Makalani, where hunger bites and traditions rule, his life unfolds beneath the thatched roof of his grandmother’s hut and the heavy gaze of a community that both shelters and rejects him.
But when the people he loves begin to vanish, some to illness, others to exile, Mphatso is left with a gnawing void and one burning question: Who am I really?
From reed mats beneath the msuku tree to dark forests hiding men with secrets, Mphatso’s journey weaves through tragedy, forbidden love, and a devastating family revelation that shatters everything he thought he knew. As political winds shift and old wounds fester, his search for truth leads him to confront not only his past but a legacy of betrayal buried deep in the soil.
It’s no secret that women go through a lot, every day, in every part of the world. It’s not just a South African reality; it’s a global one. Women are abused. Women are abandoned to raise children alone. Women face heartbreak, disappointment, and pressure to be strong even when they are breaking inside. Women carry financial burdens, emotional labour, societal expectations, and cultural demands that rarely give them space to breathe. Women are told to endure, to “hold on,” to forgive endlessly, and to settle for less than they deserve.
And recently in South Africa, Gender-Based Violence has been declared a national crisis because the pain, the fear, and the trauma have reached unbearable levels. Women are going through so much. We are fighting battles seen and unseen.
