Slasenger Dingole Mokone, (23) is an author and entrepreneur from Turfloop, Mankweng Unit A, Limpopo Province in South Africa. His journey began with a book titled "I Conquered," which delve much into psycho social challenges such as depression, loneliness, and fear, offering insights on overcoming them through relatable short stories.
“My writing was inspired by profound challenges that I have to face growing up. It was not easy to deal with loneliness and fear. Drawing from personal triumphs over these obstacles, I aimed to share my experiences and support others in similar situations. I penned down "Show Me the Light," my first book, inspired by Sylvia Maleka's organisation called "Show me the Light" which helps the children and youth. The book explores how to transform oneself using the mind, mouth, and heart—the three organs that shape our state of being. It serves as a guide to engineer personal growth and achieve a better state of being”, he said.
Beyond writing, Slasenger is also passionate about entrepreneurship and currently focused on building his clothing brand called Priest Amare®. Priest here does not mean a religious leader but someone who stands for those who can't stand for themselves in any given situation. The word "Amare" means to love in latin.
“Standing for myself and others in love is embodied by determination and success as our slogan is "success is mine", he added.
He recently released a third book titled, "I Am Preparing Myself for Marriage and This Is How...," motivated by his observations of broken relationships.
“Through research, I uncovered that personal character deficiencies often contribute to marital failures example lack of self control can lead to cheating which leads to divorce. This book offers insights into developing essential characteristics for sustaining marriage, for a successful marriage is a marriage that is or has been well maintained”, he concluded.
His message to all aspiring authors is to keep writing and forget about finance issues, write down what you want to achieve and look at it time to time one day it will manifest and develop habits that lead to your goals.
His books are available and costs only R 150,00. More information can be found: 0798336414 | Facebook : Thapelo Slasenger or TikTok as wordsmith.
