Ayanda Van der Merwe

Writer focused on local history, Soweto

  • 🇿🇦 Soweto, Gauteng, South Africa
  • Lincoln Times
  • Since 2010
  • English
I'm a writer in Soweto. Local history is my first love and investigative reporting is my second. I write best early in the morning with a pot of tea. I bake for the whole street at New Year. I'm still learning every day.

More about Ayanda

Some of my pieces still make me wince. Some, I'm proud of.
