Finding Makoti
Mayelana nale ebook
The book starts with a walk into Genesis, then through to Revelations and finally concluding in Proverbs.
The journey shares archived poems to an unknown future wife, letters and notes to exes. It reveals a man’s perspective of love, heartbreak, dating and marriage.
The book is very unique as it takes on to challenge literature and storytelling. Almost breaking all the rules, it engages in a conversation style writing. Also a unique feature is that it is written like a twitter thread and the pages are broken into consumable bits.
This coming from the insight that a lot of millennials don’t read as much. The problem the author wanted to solve was having more people start reading through this book.
A beautiful addition to the book is that it embraces colloquial language that is used by African Millennials.
A very daring piece of literature.

Scotty Wang is a conversationalist; an influential speaker and writer who reinforces discussions which oppose societal ills that are caused by men. These discussions aim to rectify these social ills by promoting a change of behavior and character. They take place via the following channels:
• Social media platforms (Facebook, Instagram, Twitter)
• Open Dialogue Events (Coffee Meets, Conversational Hikes)
• and the most recent platform – a Book (Finding Makoti)
Being a man, his discussion focus is on men. Women are a result of his duty to rectify societal ills amongst men. Given the growth of these platforms, discussions on women and children is inevitable.
Unlike conventional “community change campaigns”, Scotty Wang (as an influential writer and speaker) is separated from the crowd as his discussions are instigated from his real life experiences. This personal angle promotes trust, transparency and an “open door policy”. This inspires introspection when sharing and debating.
