Spesihle Zanda Umyeni (23) took advantage of time under lockdown to become a published author.
The Hope High School alumni achieved one of her lifelong goals with the completion of The Husband; It’s More Than a Dream. The novel touches on topics including consequences of one’s words, and polygamy in the modern age.
Asked if she has a favourite author, Spesihle admitted she did not because her opinion changed with each book she read:
“At the moment, I must admit that I am enjoying the work of local author, Nelly Page Magwaza. “I refer to her as the ‘South African Tyler Perry’, because she has the ability to address serious issues in a light-hearted manner.”
To learn more about Spesihle’s path to the published word, read the upcoming edition of the Newcastle Advertiser.
