My third novel Men of the South, published by Kwela in 2010, is this month’s reading choice for the One Read App. The novel was nominated for the Commonwealth Prize for Africa in the year it was published is a fascinating novel about three men from three worlds. Mfundo the musician and dad, Mzi – gay, but married, and Tinyae – a displaced Zimbabwean in South Africa.
