“The story of Black Jesus is a beautiful one with a theme that should surely take modern African literature in a different, progressive direction. This is an important piece of literature”-- TEBATSO JANTJIES – WRITER AND ENTREPRENEUR“This book is a refreshing departure from the medieval water-torture we've come to expect.This hard-to-put-down fiction takes one on a mystical and hypnotic journey that leaves one with a compulsion so strong, you find yourself wishing the story were true and a thousand pages longer.A rollercoaster of twists and turns, the story rings true of the world and brings a refreshing view in the world of revolution, liberation and culture, all cleverly packaged in compelling, contemporary, accessible literature with a lesson for the ages.A hybrid at its core, the story has no real protagonist and carries your interest through mystery, intrigue, action and drama.It is itself a revolution in the evolution of South African literature and that it is a story of revolution is a happy coincidence!”-- TIRO MAKHUDU – SCREENWRITER
