Moeki Mokaba's Not Fiction is that rarity - something wholly new. He is a South African poet born in the outskirts of Johannesburg and bred in one of the country's countless rural villages; his in Limpopo before being raised in the dusty Orange Farm ghetto and then later settling with his family in the Kagiso location.
Growing up in that neighbourhood impacted on his physical and mental growth. He recognises his life, alongside millions of other South Africans, has fundamentally changed because of an unhealthy sense of humanism and inhumane claims to fame that can potentially rival prominent public figures including South Africa's first democratically elected black president,
Nelson Mandela.
Describing himself as "a simple, average guy", Mokaba says the price of that taboo fame is costly and his non-fiction memoir hints to his mental attitudes and how they fit into everyday life.
