Former minister of Arts and Culture, Pallo Jordan, once called today's guest "a
South African writer to look out for".
Palesa Mazamisa is a published playwright, author and producer.
Before entering the world of theatre and film, she worked in the publishing industry and has touched on journalism while remaining a human rights and gender activist.
Palesa spent her childhood in The Netherlands before continuing her education in the US. From there she was "head hunted" back to South Africa. Following her passion for writing she turned to theatre and stories. Her short story ‘Kadra’s Decree’, published in Open: An anthology of writing by South Africa’s best women writers, was widely recognised for its subject matter of Female Genital Mutilation. Her short story ‘A Day In August’ was published in the literary anthology Botsotso 17 in 2016. Her play, the satirical Shoes & Coups: A Paradox of the Absurd won awards and is still used in coursework to this day.
As she says, "the rest is history".
