South African actress and media personality Salamina Mosese has become the latest celebrity to publish a children’s book.

The mother of two announced on social media that she is now a published author as her debut book, “Disaster at Gogo’s Spaza”, is set to launch later this week.

The 39-year-old actress – who is most known for her role in 7de Laan, Soul Buddyz, and Backstage – was overjoyed at the accomplishment. 

The launch will take place on 16 July at Exclusive Books in Melrose Arch, and the book will be hitting the shelves on 20 July.

Mosese said her nieces, nephews, and daughter Tumi served as inspiration for the tale.

“I wanted to write a book that captured the beauty of the relationships that children have with each other, and of course with communities,” said the actress.

She added that in crafting the character of Gogo in the book, she was reminded of the heartwarming relationship she had with her late grandmother. 

“I know she is smiling from heaven because she always encouraged me to keep trying new things and this chapter of my life is a new thing.”
