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.
