Description

Deep, dark secrets

Mystery, witchcraft & tragedy

After the tragedy that befalls his son Letsatsi, the most respected man in the community is found dead in the small lake of Kgaphamadi. The events of witchcraft that takes place in the dark evoke all manner of evil as the three witches hatch and fail. As mysteriously as he arrived in the sleepy farms, Dicourtleigh disappears – this time with Ntsatsi, the girl of every man’s dream.

Intrigue & mysterious death

This is the story of intrigue, mysterious death, cunning but well-meaning witchcraft, mental wellness wrapped in episodes of love, brotherhood and a hint of politics. Di ya Thoteng is a well-crafted story delivered in the eloquence that evokes all the canonical writers of Sesotho. Mofokeng is influenced by Thomas Mofolo and KE Ntsane. His work is an important addition to the body of Sesotho writing that has seen a decline in recent years.
