Tonga poet Ada Mike Mazera wants to help young artists in his home district. He told Malawi24 from Johannesburg that he sees many talented youth who need support. The South African resident plans to mentor them through his platform as an established writer. He believes this guidance can create opportunities for upcoming creatives from Nkhata-Bay.
Mazera just released a new poem called Fundu za Kukhumbiya Munthukazi about properly approaching women. The poet advises men against lying about family wealth or frequent travel to South Africa and encourages honesty instead of false claims about fathers owning numerous cattle. His work aims to both entertain audiences and teach important social lessons.
Despite living abroad for years, Mazera maintains strong connections to Malawian culture and language. He views poetry as more than entertainment but as a change-making tool. His upcoming youth mentorship program will include workshops and publishing opportunities for new writers. He urges local leaders to invest in cultural arts programming for young people. Many readers have shared his latest work across online platforms.
