A NEW and exciting chapter began for Andrew Zondo Primary School educator, Nokukhanya Sibisi, when she launched her book on Friday, 14 May.
Apart from being an educator at the Illovo-based school, Sibisi, is also an author and librarian with more than 25 years of experience in the education sector.
Using her creativity to convey a variety of motivational messages to youth, Sibisi, strives to help learners in all aspects of their lives.
When asked about her passion for reading and writing, Sibisi said she fell in love with writing when she first heard a story being read on Ukhozi FM. This sparked a light in her and she wanted to do the same by writing books.
The book, entitled Unembeza Oletha Impumelelo, (Succeeding on a clear conscience) is the second edition from the book called “Ngishaywa isazela”, that was launched in 2014.
Unembeza unveils the abuse of young women from the village who are abused and taken out of school because they don’t deserve an education. They are forced to get married to bring wealth into the family.
The story touches on the abuse of culture, beliefs and religion and how culture is perceived in different villages.
Sibisi currently owns a company called Fundu’khanye writing club where she trains aspiring young writers on how to write and publish their own stories.
