Ngwako C. Maifala is a teacher and writer from South Africa. He teaches literature, grammar and transactional writing. He is passionate about writing because he believes that writing is a way of taking people into a new, mysterious world, challenging their way of thinking and the way they view the world, and then letting them return to their own worlds with different perceptions of reality. He is also passionate about reading, because he believes that people never stop learning unless they stop reading. He also believes that writers should be readers, because the more you read, the better a writer you become.
