Motivational speaker and writer Tendai Humbasha Maduwa is set to launch his second book “Nuggets of Success” at Joina City end of this month. The book is the author’s second after his debut poetry compilation “Marry My Language” that was released in 2013.
Former education minister Sikhanyiso Ndlovu will be the guest of honour at the event where prominent actors, socialites and authors including Fred Zindi, Mai Gunguwo, Ben Sibenke and Culture Fund of Zimbabwe director Farai Mupfunya are also expected.
Maduwa told The Herald Entertainment that he was excited to be launching his second book saying everything was on course.
“I am excited to be launching this book and I am optimistic that the launch will be a success with the calibre of people that have confirmed their presence I can safely say that it is going to be an event to remember,’ he said.
He said the book is motivational and focuses on curriculum and personal development. “Success is pre-mapped, planned, governed and foretold through the ‘Nuggets of Success’ which is the concealed ladder providing firm steps to your elevated success,” he said.
He also highlighted that success can be defined differently depending on who is defining it hence the book tries to define success to everyone because everyone needs to succeed in life.
“A successful life is according to a mother her own care, according to a father, their collective care, in the view of the priest God’s infinite mercy by advocacy of science natural selection and to the layman anything anyone that knows or do not that one came across or did not, It is a complicated yet most vital destination whose route is ill defined and undertaken like the journey of the blindfolded,” he said.
Maduwa promised more books in the future. “I am a motivational speaker, hence I love to write about motivation so people must look forward to a number of these books.”
Maduwa, who also co-authored “The Enchanted World”, a poetry anthology which was published in India in 2013, is scheduled to travel to India for the launch.
He will launch the poetry anthology titled “The Isales”, which was published in Guntur in India’s Andhra Pradesh state. The anthogoly features 16 other poets from around the globe with Maduwa the only African poet with works in the compilation.
The book is set to be launched during the eighth edition of the International Poetry Festival in India before Maduwa attends another poetry festival in Kenya in August.
He said the vast international experience has helped him work with other writers back home to publish “Success Within Reach”.
