Win 1 of 5 copies of Gold Diggers

It’s Women’s Month and we love celebrating women writers. 

We are giving away 5 copies of Gold Diggers, signed by author Sue Nyathi. 

Gold Diggers is set in 2008 when Zimbabwe was at the height of its economic crisis. A group of passengers huddled in a Toyota Quantum embark on a treacherous expedition to Johannesburg, historically known as the City of Gold. 

The passengers on the bus each carry their burdens and expectations as they make the dangerous passage to what they believe is a better life, an escape from the challenges they faced in Zimbabwe.

In their minds, the streets of Johannesburg are paved with gold, but they will have to dig deep to get close to any gold and they will dirty themselves in the process. 

Sue Nyathi was born and raised in Bulawayo and resides in Johannesburg. She works as an investment analyst by day and a storyteller to her son at night. She says she writes to escape the reality of financial markets and economic shop talk. 

She made her screenwriting debut on the award-winning e.tv series Matatiele. Her first novel, The Polygamist, was published in 2012, readers can look forward to its film adaptation in 2019.
