KeaOboka oora Molomo Meshkerem Age of the Black Sage

Annotation

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