Sadly, all these issues were swept under the carpet simply because many people were afraid to become witnesses. This prompted Rammopa to pick up a pen and a piece of a paper, started writing about it, firstly as a venting diary before she developed it into a book, titled ‘Loeto la Mosetsana Le Dikhutswe Tse Dingwe’. The book explores some of the difficulties faced by young girls in Botswana. It delves into issues affecting young girls, including the dangers of sexual immorality, jealousy, and other social challenges that can shape their lives and influence their future. Through this new publication, Rammopa brings important social issues into the spotlight, encouraging readers to reflect on the realities confronting young girls in society.
The author explains that the book is a powerful tool to make conversations between children and parents easier with topics of sexual purity, sexual abuse, lust, greed easily communicated by using characters. “My journey as an author started long time ago.
