My Sister’s Lover - My latest novel 🤎

All year I have been talking about “working on my book.” Well… she’s almost ready. 😁

My Sister’s Lover will be in major bookstores across South Africa from 13 October 2026.

This one is very close to my heart. I set the story in Mambale, the village where I grew up. Writing about a place so familiar was bittersweet.

There was something nostalgic about bringing the places I knew so well into a fictional world, but also liberating about being able to reshape them and let my imagination take me wherever the story needed to go.

I wanted to honour my home, but I also love drama and pushing limits. So I often found myself wondering whether I might offend the very ground that raised me 🫢

I intentionally positioned my main character’s home where my own home stands eMambale. I even placed the shops in the order they actually were at the growth point: General Dealer, Bottle Store, Hardware… Okay, I’m going on and on 🤭. But you see what I mean. Mambale is not just a setting; it’s home.

I poured my heart and soul into this one. I laughed, I stressed, I ghosted my publisher when the story got too intense and I continuously fell in and out of love with the characters and their story.

And now I can finally say: “It will be here in under a month and pre-orders are officially open.” 🥹😍

I hope you enjoy reading My Sister’s Lover as much as I enjoyed writing it.

A million thanks to my wonderful publishers, Kwela Books & Johnathan Ball @jbp_local for making this journey such a beautiful one. Thank you for believing in me and helping me bring this book to life.

And to everyone who has been asking, waiting, encouraging me and cheering me on, I can never thank you enough. You have no idea what that means to me.

So, Dear Reader, I hereby present to you My Sister’s Lover. She’s ready to meet you. 🥹

Pre-orders are open via the link in my bio (https://t.co/1BArhH5yL1). You can order directly from me, Takealot, Amazon or through a bookstore near you in South Africa.

From my heart,

Ndoboka. Ngiyabonga. Thank you. 🤎

Bulawayo my dhiye, well done!
The Mzilikazi Commemorations are reminding us why culture and tradition matter - this is who we are, where we come from, and what we carry forward.
We are nothing without our roots.

@LoudOutside Dog breeds have different temperaments, its unfortunate pitbull owners that I've seen are either dumb or stupid or both, pardon my English.
