TBV Guest Writer: Dhoya Snijders

I had the pleasure of bumping into our next guest writer in the forests of Bolivia. He was eating the bark off a tree, which apparently was very good for heartburn. A self-described poet, Dhoya has an interesting story.

Given that he was conceived in Nigeria and schooled in Papua New Guinea, Dhoya has taken to English like a small cat takes to a bird, very well.
He is a professional hunter who likes to flirt with vegetarianism. He has spent over 2 years walking with the san people so as to release his book entitled: I walked with San people to get onto Oprah.
He has a history of Strawberry abuse and is seeing a Spanish hand model, Dhoya says he loves the rest of her too.

Please welcome in our third guest writer

TBV Dan Zoku: Who wants to live forever?

Japan has the second largest economy on earth and is home to some of the greatest and most successful multinationals. It is also home to the largest aging population, with a recent study suggesting that by 2020 one in every 15 people will be over 100. With an extremely low birthrate – 0.13 children per woman – the situation is unlikely to change.

TBV: Guest Writer Shakes Mapapa

Ladies and Gentlemen
Presenting our First of many wonderful talented guest writers.

Shakes Mapapa was born in South Africa. His whereabouts for most of his teenager life is not known as he fled the borders in response to the outcry of the apartheid government. He speaks over 10 languages and has honorary degrees from many different universities around the world.

Shakes has a passion for finding the truth and asking questions that only people who don’t sleep very much and eat Salami sandwiches with gherkins would dare to ask.

When he is not writing his is thinking and when he is not thinking he is talking and when he is not talking he is either writing or thinking.

Enjoy the first of many guest writers on The Blind View
