Johan Pretorius

Writer of local history and science writing

  • 🇿🇦 Johannesburg, Gauteng, South Africa
  • 1987 to 1998
  • English
I've been writing from 1987 to 1998. First as a hobby, then as a job and finally as the thing I couldn't stop doing. I write best early in the morning with a pot of tea. I run most mornings. I never expected anything in return, but a kind word always makes my day.

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