The Love Diary of a Zulu Boy by Bhekisisa Mncube

The Love Diary of a Zulu Boy by Bhekisisa Mncube

The Love Diary of a Zulu Boy is by turns erotic, romantic, tragic and comic. Inspired by the real-life drama of a romance between a Zulu boy and an Englishwoman, the book consists of various interrelated short stories on interracial relationships in modern-day South Africa. As the author reflects on love across the colour line, it triggers memories of failed affairs and bizarre experiences: love spells, toxic masculinity, infidelity, sexually transmitted diseases, a phantom pregnancy, sexless relationships, threesomes and prostitution, to name but a few. A unique book for the South African market, The Love Diary of a Zulu Boy is written with an honesty rarely encountered in autobiographical writing.

Bhekisisa Mncube has been described as a ‘Zulu cultural delinquent’ and ‘part-time darkie’. He has a Bachelor of Technology (BTech) degree in Journalism from the Durban University of Technology and is the recipient of the coveted Konrad-Adenauer-Stiftung International Scholarship (Germany). His writing has appeared in various publications, including The Witness, Sunday Times (Lifestyle), Mercury, Sunday Tribune, Independent on Saturday, Daily News, Sunday World, Politicsweb, Bizcommunity.com and The New Age. He is currently a director of speech writing for the minister of basic education.
