In Grade Eight, the Thembisan resident realised he wanted to write, and his Sepedi teacher encouraged him.
“My passion has always been writing, and I value the encouragement I’ve received from my teacher. When I write, I create a mind map and note points for the book on WhatsApp.
“On weekends, I write in the morning. Every night, I write just before I go to bed. I’ve written over 15 novels so far, but they still need to be edited and published.
“I write in a variety of genres, and my writing is more concerned with growth, acceptance, and providing thought-provoking information because I tend to observe a lot and like to overthink things. I applied this to my writing,” said Mokapala.
“I obtained my ideas and information from observing society.”
