UKZN Press has announced that one of its authors, Nthikeng Mohlele, was listed by Bloomsbury Publishing, Hay Festival and Rainbow Book Club among the 39 most promising authors under the age of 40 from sub-Saharan Africa and the diaspora.
Works of the 39 authors will be collected in an anthology to be launched in London and Port Harcourt in Nigeria in October this year. As one of the selected authors Mohlele will also participate in the Port Harcourt Book Festival.
UKZN Press last year published Mohlele’s second book, Small Things, which is currently being translated into Swedish by respected publishers, Weyler Forlag, for publication in 2015.
