Where did you grow up, and how did this influence your writing?
I was born and bred in Xawela block 23, currently I reside in Dzingidzingi; both villages are found in Giyani, Limpopo. I grew up with a low esteem; so writing for a book is the best way for me to express myself and it will also help me to explore the world in a special and different way.
When did you first start writing?
I started writing in 2009 while I was serving as a journalist in a community newspaper, Matimu News.
I contributed a lot in the department of Labour, Compensation Fund's newsletter, 'Tirisano' in 2013/2014. I also participated in AVBOB Poetry competition between 2017 and 2019. Early 2020 I won a Provincial Literary Competition award from Department of Sport, Arts and Culture.
