Ms Magona is one of the internationally prominent South African literary writers whose work is informed by her biographical experiences of impoverishment, femininity, resistance to subjugation and being an African woman who experienced life as a domestic worker, traversing South Africa’s racially-defined socio-cultural-economic spaces while simultaneously being a mother, wife and community leader in a township. Ms Magona earned her secondary and undergraduate education by correspondence, and later earned a scholarship to study for her Master’s Degree in Social Work at Columbia University in the United States of America (USA). She is the first child of her parents’ eight children. Ms Sindiwe Magona was born on 23 August 1943, in the village of Gungulu in the rural former Transkei.
