Meshkerem Age of the Black Sage

keaOboka oora molomo belongs to the new post-colonial poets in south africa.
he approaches the genre with a frightening fearlessness, an almost messianic
zeal. A concoction of amongst others tradition, religion and new african history
add up to the molomo cocktail that is his take on poetry. his poetry is a pulpit in
church from which he brings the spiritual and the secular together, seeing the
usually disparate with the eye of Horus a reintegrating vision. for an artist
from the villages and townships, his work is undoubtedly paradigm defying and
revolutionary; unquestionably the offerings of a maverick. suffering no holy cows
he is angry, irreverent and certainly controversial; yet a nation-builder
and an african renaissance man too.
