Local author, Lehlogonolo, starts own publishing company

Having faced numerous challenges to publish her own book, as well as being in fear of losing her concept to others, Lehlogonolo Manyama from Nkowankowa, outside Tzaneen, founded a publishing company called Royalty Publishing

LIMPOPO – The company is aimed at helping emerging publishers by giving them an opportunity to write with no fear of losing their content.

“Over the years, as a self-taught writer, I have read stories about how some authors, especially from rural areas, have no idea and knowledge about owning their content, which is why I started my company. I am mostly inspired by Robert Kiyosaki (American businessman and author) whom I quoted the most in my inspirational book. Being a business woman is a vision that I have always had growing up and I’m very proud of myself for having kept that vision until now where I trust and believe that soon I will have an impact in peoples lives and help better their lives,” she explained.

She adds that starting a business from scratch is no child’s play.

“Self-funding means that I need to be very disciplined when it comes to spending money and being extra cautious on how and where I invest it. The fact that self-market means learning to juggle various tasks at the same time so that I ensure that I give enough attention to all these roles, business manager, CEO, Authorship and Engineering (my 9-5). My book is also inspired by personal life experiences which I know for a fact that I am not the only one who experiences such so in that way, I just want to offer some emotional support and motivation for hope to my peers,” she added on.

Lehlogonolo will be hosting a networking session at Mall of North PNA on 2 June from 09:00 to 15:00 for her published book, Inspiring Lives, Changing Lives. This will allow Lehlogonolo to interact one on one with her fans as well as other aspiring writers to offer them advise on how to make it as an author.
