Siya Khumalo

After being reprimanded at a dinner party for “talking about religion, politics and sex in polite company”, Siya Khumalo wrote a number of analyses that culminated in a book titled You Have To Be Gay To Know God (Kwela Books, April 2018), which in 2019 made the long-list for the Sunday Times’ Alan Paton Literary Award, the shortlist for the UJ Debut Prize and won the Desmond Tutu-Gerrit Brand Literary Prize. Khumalo formerly served in the Military Health Services, was a Mr. Gay South Africa runner-up and Mr. Gay World Top 10 finalist.
