I never knew my dad until I was 12 years old, I am a first born from both my parents and have 13 siblings. I attended 5 different primary schools and 4 different high schools. At the age of 17, I moved and stayed in Hilbrow where the final brick in the dam broke loose. Like most, if not all scoundrels, I began by doing petty crimes and then graduated to armed robbery. I got arrested in 2001 and was sentenced to life imprisonment in 2003. Upon admission in prison I got involved in rehabilitating myself with the help of fellow offenders and correctional officials. In 2008, I registered to study marketing management and business management, I found the going a bit tough at first, since I had never seen the inside of a college or university before. However, armed with the unquenchable desire for change and education, I pulled through and graduated in 2011 and in 2012. I began writing in 2007.view less
