Antoinette Ntuli

Antoinette Ntuli is a mother, a S’thandwa Sami, a friend, a yoga addict, a cook and a general adventurer who embraces life with both hands. “The memories imprinted flow, or sometimes are squeezed, through my fingers onto the page.” She grew up in the UK, coming to South Africa in 1994. Occasionally she performs her poems, which erupt in moments of her heightened emotion. For many years, she was employed in public health, working for the National Health Service in the UK and for Soul City and the Health Systems Trust in South Africa. She is currently writing her life story.

"I would describe my story as magical realism, because I am integrating fantastical elements into a realistic setting to help me reflect upon economic and cultural power."
