In his formative years, living in Africa, Jack was exposed to the Islamic culture and Arabic language, then from the tender age of five, his family moved to France, where he and his family lived for three year.
This multi-cultural, multi-lingual upbringing gave Jack the advantages seen in his creative writing and thinking skills.
At the age of eight, Jack’s family immigrated back to Africa, this time, venturing further south, into a port city in the Eastern Cape, were he spent the next 18 years. Despite being little equipped in the mother tongue, English, he completed both primary and secondary schooling locally, and then went on to complete his BCom, and later his Masters in the field of Economics.
Currently pursuing his PHD, Jack is a shrewd businessman, mentor, leader and public speaker. He has been sourced for his intellectual property in many arenas worldwide including the field of business, education, media, stockbroking, trading and political arena.
Jack is a passionate individual, driven by his goals and aspirations, but holds a deep inner awareness of self, his surroundings and the effect that he chooses to make on the lives of others. His motto is to find the “FUN in everything you do” and to pursue “self-thinking as a means to the reality you want to achieve.”
His passion for writing has led him to publish a number of books over the past twenty years. His love for writing, his inner child, wild imagination and cosmic awareness, has awoken his newly found passion for life, and resulted in him exposing a more in-depth, true self through his poetry.
“Through writing, I have found my means of expressing, to address and embrace the turmoil of life”
Africa Macabre is a mixture of cosmic, love poetry, short stories to thrill and frighten the soul into realizing that even the most tranquil of people have inner demons.
“My near-destroyed soul re-awakened and the fire of passion re-ignited 12 months ago and I have no intention of letting this cosmic warning go unnoticed. This book is my first work of fiction, but by no means the last.”view less
