However, contrary to popular belief, Kajengo was no ordinary refugee from a country experiencing political meltdown. He was not in South Africa to enlist as a helpless refugee by the UNHCR or Immigration authorities but to share his knowledge and love for the arts and farming with the host country.
Since then, Kajengo has taken part in hundreds of activities where his “import” skills and further acquired ones have been of benefit to tens of thousands of South Africans. He has, in the eight years that he has been a temporary resident here, completed a course in creative writing; written and published poetry in popular journals such as Botsotso; and freelanced for various magazines and newspapers as a journalist with news and content that has always been community-driven and impactful.
He is one of the most popular contributors to the Daily Sun newspaper and a horticulturalist in Mpumalanga who has contributed rare baobab trees to the Department of Economic Development and local municipalities. Throughout this time Kajengo has been working hard to push the development agenda of not only South Africa but the whole Commonwealth and SADC region forward.
Between such demanding social development works, Kajengo has written a novel titled No Room for Comfort, which has been prepared for printing as it has already undergone various editing stages.view less
