Tumisho Mary Moetlo, is a 27 year old female author and poet from Limpopo province in South Africa. She’s been a poet since high school ( grade 10) but however she said procrastination has always been a thief but in 2019 she decided to buckle up and make love for poetry happen. Mainly writing from one heart to the other, she had a lot of people confiding in her and she realised its about time she heals hearts through her works. As she embarked on her journey, She said help and guidance from Samantha Nomaswazi Nunu of Singcoli creative writers foundation has played a huge role. Being both talented and passionate, she has accepted writing as a calling to heal and all the same passionate about making it a reality.
Speaking of her ground breaking achievements, She has recently compiled her first poetry anthology ( Matters of the heart), hosted have hosted a talent show at my hometown and she has written foreword for four amazing books (namely I am Lazarus and I am blind, a blind tells no lie, Dacre’s Doctrines, Tropical love and Tribute to a storm). Amongst all her recent achievements, she points out that her favourite and the one that brings put the best version of herself so far is her poetry anthology ( Matters of the heart).
Facing challenges of dropping out of university because there were not enough money to fund her Language Practice diploma, she has persevered though the hardships and has stood firm in making her dreams a reality. The tenacious acts of perseverance have been symbolised by her new project which is a novel dedicated to women who have devoted many years on end of marriage to men they thought would give them forever only for the marriage to end as a divorce. The novel is titled BROKEN MATRIMONIAL and the publication date yet to be made known accordingly.
Favourite project that she previously worked on was Writing a foreword for I am Lazarus and I am blind, a blind man tells no lies. She alludes that “I literally connected with the book, it made me feel like I was walking in the authors shoes, like they say good writing is supposed to evoke sensation in the reader”.
Having worked solo so far, miss Moetlo said she would love a poetry collaboration with Samantha and she would like to work with Erick Mokgotho ( he is an author) from where she comes from in Limpopo.
