In this artful prose, Thato delivers a three step guide on how to make men more present in family life and family planning
As a second-year Bachelor of Information Technology student at the University of Pretoria, Thato’s academic achievements of being a top achiever and part of the Golden Key International Honour Society should not divert you from his true talent. He is the national winner of the 2017 Poetry in McGregor competition; the only South African poets to be selected for publication in Vol 8 of the Sol Plaatje European Union Anthology. Thato has international features in the Better than Starbucks literary magazine and the 2016 and 2017 Best New African Poets anthology. His work has been selected for publication in Douglas-Reid Skinner’s September 2018 special edition Stanzas Magazine, 2017 Avbob poetry competition and is the second South African writer to be featured in Ghana Writes’ guest writer of the week project. His first book, Fly in a beehive; is collected in African Books Collective and John Hopkin’s University Project Muse to name but a few.
