Home of South Africa's first ongoing Afro-Manga, Siri Watu!

I am an enthusiastic writer, illustrator and African
graphic novelist with the goal of making the series
I created a household name in South Africa. I
believe that art can inspire, can teach and can
entertain, more than this art can make life worth
living by invoking our imagination in impossible
ways. For this reason, I work to tell mythical,
fantastical and breathtakingly beautiful stories and

This was incredibly fun, thank you so much for having me be a part of your classes. I am genuinely impressed by the students and the convos we had. I appreciate you all for allowing me to share my experience creating Siri Watu with you. And thank you all for sharing your experience and passions with me.

I hope this "foreshadows" so much more to come for all of us aspiring afro-mangakas and comic creators. See you all soon, we have an industry to make together!

Thank you so much for the continued support this weekend, and a huge SHOUTOUT to those who bought Siri Watu Volume 3. It's super, super, super surreal and means the world to me that you enjoyed my stories previously enough that you're willing to spend your money on the next chapter. Especially given that it's not the most affordable item out there (😭 I'm trying but my volumes are not super cheap to print).

That said, I am currently working on Volume 4, and I'm more hyped than ever to be working on Siri Watu, with it finally getting to what I believe is the good part. It's the part I've been waiting to bring to the world and have kept close to my heart for the last 10-15 years of creating this story and only now do I finally have the experience to bring it to the forefront. To me it the best set of chapters I've ever planned out and am working on since the start of this story, and it's also the first one, I'll actively do my best to keep you all upto date with. I'm excited and for those who have supported me so far, the story only ramps up from here😁😁😁

Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!!

Although Manga is my jam and peanut butter, I could never deny that I'm a huge superman fan, I am super super hyped that we are getting a sequel.
