A story of tenacity

Meet the budding author of Behind the Scenes No More - Samantha Matlhagela who embodies all these virtues.

In a non-fiction inspirational book that has come out of the press plates this week, the daughter of Modise and Victoria Maphanyane has recounted her life in an honest yet most profound way, using simple language, quite the opposite of her father who is given to verbosity, yet her gripping descriptions of the milestones and signposts make for a riveting read. This tale is as tantalising as it is edifying to the soul to read about a life of an ordinary Motswana girl born to a middle-class family, who lived in almost every region of Botswana.
