Cde Seroke: I first got acquainted with the name Zakes Mda some time ago, most probably from your writings, when you were writing about South African writers. Some months ago, in a shopping center at Benoni, where I live, I saw the book. They made separate collection of Zakes's books. To me, I had an impression that Zakes was a late author, I don't know where did I get that impression.. Lately, I have been googling about him, and I have established that he was and is an illustrious writer. I understand that currently he's lecturing in the US. I will definitely get myself a copy very soon. The other writer that become an unsung figure was Bessie Head, a South African native, who went to live in Botswana. Her masterpiece work, Maru was a textbook for English in Matric for many years in South Africa. I was befuddled at University, in the department of African Politics, when we were doing comparative politics in Southern African that that the name of Bessie Head appeared. Looking back at your contribution to this circulation on a host of issues, I must admit that your writings are second to no one, that is, they are unsurpassed nor unsurpassable. I certainly believe that maybe writers such as Zakes had an indelible impression on your pen. Where you a member of the COSAW, what was the role of this organization in the eighties ?
