Soul On Sale

Nkuzi Mhango

Description

Soul On Sale (SOS) sounds like a rap song though it isn�t. It isn�t purely a poem but a long- provocative and vigorous song focusing on the history of injustices and those suffering from injustice urging them to take action. It explores colonialism, corruption and neocolonialism Africa faces. It chides victims to self-reinvent so as to change the status quo manned by begging and venal potentates. It seeks to provoke readers to feel empowered and responsible. Thus, stand and change the world�s status quo sui generis. It employs an enthralling-flow style in free verse to catch the attention of the reader.

Acknowledgment For, Nesaa (wife), Nthethe (Kanthethe), Ndidziwa, Nthelezi,Ng’ani, Nkuzi and Nkwazi Jr. (children) whom I exceptionally thank for making me who I am. Nesaa has been a good wife while the rest have been good kids who miss me when I am busy and sometimes down thinking and writing. Nesaa has been overprotective to see to it that kids don’t engage me at the times I am busy reading or writing. Special thanks to Langaa that published my second book, Philo Ikonya who linked me with Langaa, my mentor Professor, Sean Byrne, and Professor Jessica Senehi all of University of Manitoba Winnipeg Canada for their bottomless support in my academic journey.
