Local author explores ways of growing the economy with his third book

Puftontein resident Nhlanhla Mkhwanazi has recently published his third book titled Inside the Township Storm (the philosophy of survival), which explores numerous ways of growing the economy.

He said the book is driven by the desire to inspire a new, forward-thinking breed of social and economic transformers who will not only reclaim and grow the economy but also transform the local population from being consumers into producers by simplifying and connecting the fourth industrial revolution and township industrialisation.

“I have researched and written extensively about a need to embrace the fourth industrial revolution, the township industrialisation and philosophy as a way to mobilise hearts and minds in the fight against poverty, unemployment, lack of business opportunities and the subsequent social challenges,” said Mkhwanazi.

“The post-Covid-19 era will require more of an economic intervention and policy change to remedy the economic hardships endured by the society. Surviving the pandemic calls for a new collective approach because hope alone is not enough.”

The book was published in July.

The author said the book employs the most interesting parables and metaphors to convey a message of hope and action. It explores numerous ways of growing the economy and rebuilding our lives from the little that is left in our hands because surviving is about overcoming the worst in life.

For the past 15 years, Mkhwanazi has researched and written about the Vertigo era to the fourth industrial revolution, township industrialisation and the balanced state of emotions, entrepreneurship and leadership development.

His first book was a biography titled A rose on the rock, it was published in the United Kingdom and the second book is titled Understanding the two worlds of social media and internet.

The entrepreneur said he has always wanted to be an author because writing is his passion and ink is the trustworthy recorder.

“I believe that we all have a story to tell, and such is an inspirational story of our journey and that of triumph over adversity. As I look back now, I realise that I have been a storyteller from the onset,” he said.

“My ultimate goal is to unearth and publish the work of local authors and to inspire a new breed of independent thinkers and wealth creators who will make mother Africa proud and place her in her rightful place amongst nations of the world.”

Mkhwanazi graduated from the Regenesis Business School, University of Johannesburg, Lyceum College and Council for Scientific and Industrial Research (CSIR), and Strategic and obtained a change management course (United States Embassy).
