Lerato Mahlangu

Lerato Mahlangu is an emerging fiction writer from Witbank, holding a Diploma in Media Practices. She has loved literature since her school days, but never imagined a career in it until her high school English teacher encouraged her to pursue the craft. She has been published in literary magazines and an anthology. Lerato believes that if people were ‘normal’ all the time, she wouldn’t be inspired to write, as she finds great stories in people’s oddities, quirks, and unconventional behaviors.
