The book is a collection of IsiZulu poems which she started writing as a young girl while accompanying her mother to sell vegetables at a market in Richards Bay.

‘It has been a difficult and long journey, but I thank God for this opportunity to present my work to the people, and give them a piece of me,’ she said.
Among those who attended the launch at eSikhaleni Community New Hall were SATMA award-winning poet Mbali ‘Magcwabe Imbongi’ Mabaso and Ischomane Sembongi, as well as Nhlaka Nkwanyana, and gospel artists Cebile and Andile Dlamini.
