À propos de l'auteur

Modikwe Dikobe was the pseudonym of Marks Rammitloa, a novelist, poet, and activist born in 1914 in the former Province of the Transvaal, South Africa.

His social activism began in the early 1940s when he joined protests against segregation and advocated for the rights of tenants. He eventually become secretary to the Alexandra Squatters' Resistance, a movement necessitated by high rents in Johannesburg.

Dikobe went on to write for the newspaper Inkululeko and was briefly arrested for his political activities, with a ban placed on his writings. In 1963, he took a job as a nightwatchman and began writing The Marabi Dance. He later released a collection of poetry, The Dispossessed, in 1983.

Dikobe died in 2005.
