But we can assure the literary world that Thiba's talent is genuine and original. Like Es'kia Mphahlele, Thiba's rural origins (Ganyesa) and fecundity nurtured a remarkable, brilliant literary ability.Erichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05770653181679709250noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-308167042306621283.post-79000539692604755442017-09-28T10:42:46.115-07:002017-09-28T10:42:46.115-07:00I have to thank you Ntate Mokoena and your support...I have to thank you Ntate Mokoena and your support to my growth in writing is appreciated.

Do not get me wrong – the poet here has a good standing and stature in poetry and it can be stated quite surely that nothing is plagiarized in his work. But as people in literature, we have to point out such things. And since we assume that this is authentic work, we have to admit that the wordsmith here is of a fairly high class and standard. Lines like ‘Coffee.. And adorned by the cream of profound love'and 'Be my derrick to uplift me from the muck' are quite impressive. Well done.<br />RAPHAELhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10540380951922637058noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-308167042306621283.post-14443451591538464302017-09-26T07:04:01.954-07:002017-09-26T07:04:01.954-07:00Thank you very much Mr Giwa, your words are very e...Thank you very much Mr Giwa, your words are very encouraging.
