Siyabonga Njica is an aspiring poet from Guguletu in Cape Town. Having lost his dad at just 11 years old, he began writing manuscripts about his father and used his unexpected demise as a weapon and tool to portray rather a modest and heart-warming side of himself, unknown by those around him. He started writing poems in 2009 and became an over-night sensation after touching many readers on his Facebook profile. Inspired by an overwhelming reception of positive comments and likes, he started taking his work seriously. Much of his work speaks of solitude, society, love and his volting ambition to prosper as a writer.
