Raw, beautiful prose exposes a world in which humour and despair exist in equal measures, a world where the need to succeed, to strike it rich, brings out the best and the worst of human nature. Room 207 takes the reader to a Johannesburg that is the very heart of South Africa, to a room in which six young men struggle to make their dreams come true in the “dream city”.

For more than ten years, they have lived in Room 207 of a dilapidated block of flats in Hillbrow. By day, they are hustlers – they hustle production companies, they have their own music company, they survive. At night, they party. Room 207 paints a vivid, engrossing picture of their lives and their sense of hopelessness of having to compromise their lives.

They are artists, these men, but have to make a living. Otherwise, fate would call them back home – not driving their own BMW, but leaving the way they arrived: in a taxi, with empty pockets, and nothing to show for their years in Johannesburg.

Mokgethi is not your average teenage girl. Mokgethi dreams of going to Oxford to study Actuarial Science. But her grandmother and aunt have other ideas, and with no one to fight her corner, except for her younger brother Khutso, Mokgethi is forced to realise that her dreams may well turn out to be just that. Dreams. Kgebetli Moele returns with perhaps his most controversial novel to date a novel written from the perspective of a seventeen year old girl. Untitled explores the challenges that face young women trying to escape the poverty into which they have been born Mokgethis life is all about overcoming poor education, escaping sexual predators (young and old) and dealing with the lack of positive role models in her township. In this explosive novel, Moele deals head-on with sexual abuse, rape and poverty in a way that very few South African authors can.
