A writing facilitator at Workers' College in Durban, Mphutlane wa Bofelo is presently working on his debut poetry CD and on Red Ink, a collection of essays on politics and culture. His other books are The Heart's Interpreter, Bluesology and Bofelosophy, Remembrance and Salutations, The Journey Within: Reflections in Ramadaan.
