“Soccer Queen of North Jozi” delves into the tumultuous lives of famous soccer stars and their glamorous ‘slay queen’ girlfriends, challenging the perception that dating a soccer player guarantees a ‘soft life.’ Instead, these women often find themselves in a constant battle to fend off rivals, manage the fragile egos and injuries of their partners, and navigate the treacherous waters of high-profile relationships.

The story centers on Pearl, a young and ambitious beauty queen from the dusty streets of Mafikeng. Determined to escape poverty and secure a luxurious lifestyle in Johannesburg’s affluent northern suburbs, Pearl sees her lover Thabang—a newly signed premier league star with a notorious reputation as a womanizer—as her golden ticket. Unfazed by the obstacles in her way, Pearl is willing to do whatever it takes, betraying anyone necessary to achieve the coveted ‘soft life.’

Through Pearl’s journey, the book exposes the dark, unglamorous reality behind the flashy image of soccer players and their glamorous slay queen partners. It reveals a world of womanizing, witchcraft, secret gay relationships, and fast cars, where the pursuit of wealth and status demands irreversible sacrifices.
