Sarah Mkhonza Knihy

Sarah Mkhonza píše s cieľom objasniť postavenie utláčaných, najmä žien, a zapojiť širšie čitateľstvo. Jej poviedky, často inšpirované skutočnými udalosťami, sa zameriavajú na životy chudobných pracujúcich vrstiev Svazijska, odrážajúc jej vlastné korene. Prostredníctvom svojho písania, ktoré sa nebojí kritizovať monarchiu, sa snaží informovať svojich krajanov o dôležitých spoločenských otázkach. Jej literárna cesta je poznačená bojom za slobodu prejavu a podporou afrického vzdelávania.
