I
have been reading some good stuff on the internet about this South Africa
writer. He is a medical doctor and also a fine imaginative writer, so he has
been compared to his Nigerian counterpart, Wale Okediran. Certainly both of
them are also literary activists. Mokae's brilliant fiction was mainly written
around the time Mandela was President of SA. Okediran continues to write, and
in recent years has published even more book(s) comprising fiction, short stories,
I think. In this particular collection, one or two of the stories are long enough to be published on their own as stand-alone works. Anyway, Drs. Mokae (and Okediran) are certainly African literary gems
