A new edition of Khaya Dlanga: It’s The Answers for Me is out now from Pan Macmillan!
In March 2020 Khaya found himself bereaved, alone and facing an indefinite lockdown as a result of COVID-19. Like most of us, he turned to social media to maintain some human connection.
It’s The Answers For Me is the result of Khaya’s ongoing Q&A interactions with his followers on Instagram and is evidence of the genuine communities that are formed on social media.
It’s a record of our collective mgowo and a nation going through what have been the most bizarre (and longest) years in recent history.
Khaya’s ability to write authentically about himself and his world has resonated with readers from all walks of life.
Khaya Dlanga is the author of three previous books: In My Arrogant Opinion (2012), To Quote Myself (2015), and These Things Really Do Happen To Me (2018). By day Dlanga is a marketing executive and has held senior positions in some of the country’s and world’s most recognisable brands.
