MwanaWaGidza, a law student, is a spoken word artist and playwright as well as a voice actor.

Edward's genius lies in his pacing. He weaves the intimacy of a forbidden romance into the frantic rhythm of power cuts and street protests. 

At first glance, the novel seems to centre on a familiar fear: losing a job. But as the story unfolds, it becomes clear that this is not simply a novel about retrenchment as the title suggests.
