Sipho Hlongwane is a self-taught writer who, apart from the occasional freelancing stint, slogs away at a law degree. He also makes regular contributions to the Mail & Guardian’s Thought Leader site.
He has driven forklift trucks, hosted radio shows, waited tables, reviewed books and has won prizes in visual arts competitions. You know, the normal, growing-up stuff.
He is a proud Zulu, (the Tswana blood is never to be mentioned. Ever) who hails from the KwaZulu Natal Midlands. He enjoys rugby in all its laddish raucousness, intelligent satire and chooses to spend his free time with people who don’t take themselves too seriously.
