Smitta Smitten Wins 270,000Kshs In An International Literature Competition

I have had my run-ins with the man but one thing I have never begrudged him is praise for his intellect, The man of whom I speak is Smitta Smitten a.k.a Tony Mochama and penmanship is his game. Smitta is one man that manipulates the pen so beautifully that whenever he writes, he doesn’t tell a story, he paints a scenery.

Enough colourful praise. My mouth was never meant to contort to say such words. But the fact still remains, Tony Mochama has a way with words and it is earning him some serious money. Buit for a change, this article isn’t about flossing money. No.

This about inspiration. Because I want you to know that talent, intelligence and persistence. Youth need to understand that there is more to life than gossip, nude socialites and other cheap thrills. Talent pays.

Tony Mochama has won the Morland Miles Writing Award. from that money, Smitta Smitten will write a book imagining Kenya at 100 years -pretty apt with the Jubilee celebrations. The book will be set in 2063 and the main protagonist will be Morgan Chamaroche. The money will be paid in 12 monthly installments through out 2014.
