“The love for poetry started at school. Since 2006, the passion for poetry has never left me. I’ve attended the King Moshoeshoe remembrance and heritage celebrations at Huntersfield Stadium in Katlehong, where I also performed.
“I am available for bookings to do events. I also MC as part of my resume.”
