Bongani Sibanda was born in Mfila Village and attended Zwehamba and Nyashongwe Primary Schools, then Tshelanyemba and Shashane High Schools. He currently lives in Johannesburg. His stories have appeared in several online literary magazines, and have been included in two of Weaver Press' anthologies, Writing Lives (2014) and Writing Mystery and Mayhem (2015).

"Bongani Sibanda's debut evokes contemporary village life with precision and an unforgettable freshness. Here are soul-stirring individual and collective stories of villagers, and just in the background, a country failing the hopes of its people. A talented new voice." - NoViolet Bulawayo, author of We Need New Names.
