Smashwords Interview

Where did you grow up, and how did this influence your writing?
I was born and raised in Soweto, in a location called Moroka North, ha MmaMosa le Mokhele ka hodima anfolopo. I was raised by my grandparents who are both from Lesotho and as the first grandchild - I was tasked with a responsibility to read and reply to letters from the relatives in Lesotho and South Africa addressed to my grandparents. This is where my journey started as a writer and passion for the passion for Sesotho language was born. throughout primary and high school, I was always the top learner in my class when it came to vernacular. My Sesotho Teachers also served as influence - they would ask me to read in front of the class, and encouraged me to write and read widely.
