Sehloho Piet Rampai

I was born in 1985 and started writing at the age of 12. Ever since then, I never backed off and most of my work is available online.
I am a poet, writer, playwriter and I have won several writing awards. I have also published 4 books of poetry collections.

I joined FunDza through reading as I read some of the work on this website. I believe, for a writer to be a good writer, should be a good reader too.

Writing and reading has changed my life in such a way I now make informed choices and decisions.

The words I live by are: “When I die I want to be remembered through literature as the PenLord.”
