Zukiswa Wanner is a woman of action. Not only has she published two novels, and is currently working on a third, but she is the driving force behind the recently launched ReadSA campaign which aims to encourage South Africans to read and to read South African. Wanner’s love for South African literature shines through in her answers to some questions posed by the Mail & Guardian:
Which book(s) are you buying as presents?
Definitely Thando Mgolozana’s A Man who’s Not a Man; the above-mentioned book that I am currently reading by Coovadia, Angela Makholwa’s The 30th Candle; Shameless by Futhi Ntshingila and On Black Sisters’ Street by Chika Unigwe for all my streetwalker friends. For my BEE friends under 25 I will get Fiona Snyckers’s Trinity Rising; I am getting my rugby-playing mates Joost and John Smit’s bios and I am getting me Zakes’s latest, which I have not bought so I can do it in flourish when he comes for his South African launch.
