About the Author
Shoaneng Ephraim Sefali is an English teacher at Sediba-Thuto Secondary School in Heilbron, Free State, in South Africa, his native country. He is currently the chairperson of two Provincial bodies: The Writers Forum and The English Teachers Association. He is a member of The National Association of English Teachers of South Africa. He attended quite a number of English training workshops including the recent one with the University of Massachusetts in the U.S.A. His passion of poetry is reflected in his teaching in the classroom. He started writing while he was still at high school, writing English poems, but later on translated them into Sotho language. It is now that he is starting to write in English again. He is a firm believer that the best way to share his deep and emotional thoughts ranging from nature, events, humanity and so on, is to have his work translated into different world languages.
