Orphans
are Super Heroes
Sello Mangwana, was born and raised in Nyanga
East. He is an author, an artist who sings kwaito, he is also the chairman of a
soccer team in his community.
‘Orphans
are Super Heroes’ is his first book although he is not an orphan
himself He was inspired to write this book when he decided to do something for
orphans on his birthday. He was also inspired by his spiritual father, a pastor
who also goes by the name Major 1, who wrote many books.

The aim of writing books is to motivate others
who are striving to achieve their gaols. His parents didn’t really understand
or take him seriously when he wanted to write a book. For Sello writing this
book was not very challenging because as a musician, writing lyrics for songs
and writing a book go hand in hand.
Sello also gives motivational speeches
especially at orphanages.
As a
child, every boys’ dream is to be a super hero like superman, who is a hero but
an orphan as well. Superman was a hero for so many, so being an orphan does not
mean that dreams cannot be reached. For Sello, life is all about where you’re going
and it should not matter where you come from.
He has adopted an orphanage in Nyanga, because he
wanted to give back to the children in that community. Sello also believes that
the future is now and the youth are the leaders of the present.
Sello has mentoring classes every Saturday and
he tries is best to help at least four children from the classes in terms of
connecting them to the right people for the goals they have and want to achieve.
At the moment, he is busy writing his second
book and even thinking of writing an autobiography once he has released his
second book.
His motivational words to anyone on the same
career path as him is to never give on your dreams.
