NOMPILO Gumede is using her creative talent to warn her peers about sugar daddies.
The 21-year-old writer from Pietermaritzburg, KZN, said she saw a high number of girls dropping out of university after being promised a life of luxury by blessers.
She said she couldn’t just stand by and watch them throw away their future.
Nompilo, who is studying for a BSc in psychology, started writing motivational stories on Facebook to warn girls but in 2020, she decided to write a book.
She recently published her first book, The Demon’s Wife.
