Cherry Marbles (9 page)
Authors: Shukie Nkosana
Langa Buthelezi owns her own events company and lives in a fabulous New York-style flat in Quinn Street, Johannesburg. She is engaged to Richard, a cameraman for the SABC. One Sunday afternoon, on her way home from church, she has an embarrassing encounter with a handsome stranger â to whom she is very rude. During a major event proposal, Langa comes face to face with the very same handsome stranger â Regile Mabhena, owner of Mabhena Oil Limited, who will decide if she gets the contract. It's while organising the event that Langa finds herself working intimately with Regile, realising at last what true love is . . .
SHUKIE NKOSANA was born to a Zimbabwean father and a Zambian mother. She matriculated in London and moved to Johannesburg in 2008 where she began to study arts and literature. Shukie's love of books motivated her to work part-time at Xarra Books in Newtown, Johannesburg.
Extremely outgoing and impulsive, Shukie drew her inspiration from all the different people that crossed her path. Shukie passed away unexpectedly in January 2010 at the tender age of twenty-four. Her manuscript,
Cherry Marbles
, had already been accepted for publication.
