MBABANE– When the time is right; the Lord will make it happen!
This bible verse is a true testament to Dr. Bakhe Dlamini, whose dream of having his book published has finally been realised.
Dlamini has written five books so far, which he self-published titled; Accidental Success, Relating the Sons, The Good Man, The Naked Truth about Men, and the Twenty irrefutable laws of marriage, which he co-wrote with his wife Nokwanda.
Yesterday, Dlamini shared that he was approached by one of the biggest publishing companies in South Africa to co-write a book with his wife Nokwanda after years of trying without any luck. However, Dlamini did not reveal the name of the publisher as of yet.
He narrated, “One of the biggest publishing companies contacted me today. It was just a regular day, and I got an email. They want my wife and I to author a book, they take care of everything from editing, printing, marketing, to distribution.”
He added, “That’s not the important part of the story. The important part is that I recall some years ago trying to get a publisher. I sent countless emails. It’s not a joke to get one. If you have one, then you’re in the shopping malls, book stores… I gave up and went for self-publishing. Years Down the line, I didn’t go to them; they came to me. The power of God, patience, and hard work. On the side, over the years, I kept on doing my work, making waves; God was preparing me. Then Jackpot! To someone who’s had a dream, quit: It’s OK. I understand. Your dreams are valid,” shared Dlamini.
Dlamini previously shared that all of his biggest dreams happened when he had given up. He prayed hard some years ago to get his books at national book stores. It’s not a joke. He shared that he was competing against international best sellers just to have his book in those leading stores was not a joke. In 2024, he got a random call to have his books stocked at Exclusive Books and Bargain Books. His books are now available nationwide.
Dlamini last year was honoured with a Doctorate in Transformational Leadership from Myles Leadership University.He is also a qualified community psychologist, marriage and family therapist, speaker, and published author of five books: Accidental Success, Relating the Sons, The Good Man, The Naked Truth about
