    About this ebook

    Above the Deep is the place where people live. So, I am directing my message and speaking out my feelings to the people who are alive not dead. These are the people who can hear and do something about the message. Remember, people lives above the surface of the sea and only the dead who are underground. Therefore, I am speaking to you.

      I dedicate this book to my dear lovely mom. Mom, your hands have always been warm and kind to me. Your rebuke has built me up and your kindness has humbled me. Now I know that single mothers can do it. My childhood memories are full of your love. No matter how far I am, your voice keeps on ringing into my ears, reminding me of choosing the good over evil. I crown you an African queen. Oh yes! You deserve it mom

      Above all I thank God Almighty for giving me wisdom, knowledge and strength to write this book. What can I do without You Father? You have remained the man after my heart. I love you God

      My school mates from Healthnikon nursing college how can I forget you. What about our sweet tutor sister Stewart who always gave me an opportunity to render my poems in the class? Your encouragement and support has taken me this far. I love you all.

      My colleagues from Groote Schuur hospital I love you all

      Rochester house prayer group, keep the fires burning my friends

      My brother Hastings, big up bro! You have played a role for my success including your wife Shoni. Does she still love that drink from Cape Town? Don’t worry I will fly it to Johannesburg soon. Ha ha ha!

      Mabindu, Muvhuya, Thabelo Mohale and Chifhe you are my brothers for life. All my friends including Jele’s family, Kofi Adesi Kyei from Ghana and James Mukisa from Ugandai love you all.

      Surely this book won’t be complete until I acknowledge you my aunt. Tshifhiwa Gladys Khorommbi. I love u. Do you still love your Venda name? Ha ha ha! Just kidding

      WHY SUICIDE CRAWLING INTO MY LAND

      Why you in the midst of my hunger

      Why faking the quench of the thirst of my soul

      Sitting on the rusty throne
