Meshkerem Age of the Black Sage

keaOboka oora molomo belongs to the new post-colonial poets in south africa. he approaches the genre with a frightening fearlessness, an almost messianic zeal. A concoction of amongst others tradition, religion and new african history add up to the molomo cocktail that is his take on poetry. his poetry is a pulpit in church from which he brings the spiritual and the secular together, seeing the usually disparate with the eye of Horus a reintegrating vision. for an artist from the villages and townships, his work is undoubtedly paradigm defying and revolutionary; unquestionably the offerings of a maverick. suffering no holy cows he is angry, irreverent and certainly controversial; yet a nation-builder and an african renaissance man too. -tswagare namane Author of My Land (Bits and Pieces) what i have could be taken, but i will go to the grave being what i am, molomo o bua ntho tse di kgolo - he addresses higher issues -dr. mongane wally serote national revolutionary poet and ceo of freedom park trust foundation
