I will pray for you
In my anger
I will pray for you
That one day you will keep the promises you made
that day four years ago
When I gave you a cross
and in return you told me things would be different
Then turned around and hurt me

HOME DRENCHED

I owe this title to Makhosazana Xaba, who read the poem and suggested it. I think it works. And to Patrick Cockayne, the rogue photographer who captured the sky one stormy day… Thanks collaborators!

I am the universal victim searching for that manmade dream of happiness.

When I sleep the Gods say they are all a possibility.

When I wake – it’s not true – so its cruelty.

I am living a life where people are playing with my sanity.

Pulling at it like strings of an impotent puppet.

Pontsho Maphoto

This is the world
That was created through words
Words spoken turned into destinies
Words written turned into manuscripts
Words acquired through scripts
Turned into knowledge
And knowledge turns us to be conquerors
I am the words translated through the pen.

Dabaluthethwa Tfwala

This place is buzzing like bees
Most of these – people are seemingly home bound
Perplexed and petrified. I feel lost, I neet to be found

Hawkers selling their wares
A preacher is preaching but no-one seemingly cares
So many queues, so intertwined and very long
As I’am pondering on which queue to join. suddenly the preacher breaks into song!

Fende – Andries Phukuntsi

I am Fende, full name Andries Phukuntsi. I am a bi-lingual author (English and Setswana) author and lyricist (in this respect people always say you’re either a poet or a rapper, or both).

Mostly I write short stories, but have completed several novels and a few plays that I am trying to get published as well.
