‘In this
effective combination of political intrigue and murder mystery, Gomolelmo Mokae
breaks new ground by introducing a new genre in black South African literature:
the detective story.’
“...Gomolemo Mokae’s detective novel, The Secret
in my bosom, can be called a
success, but I have always believed it has a major flaw. Is it really possible
that the lady in question (Moloi) would not be recognised by anybody till late,
despite undergoing surgery?”
"Excellently written
by the author - focus on murder and mayhem in the black townships of South
Africa. Intelligently constructed'
‘Touted as the
first detective novel published by a black South African. plenty of humour;
fine descriptions. The conclusion is quite impressive too.”
An interesting work. I am sure by now quite a number of Black South Africans, male and female, would have published books of this genre. Angela Makholwa?
