Romance, Conflict, and Deception in L. Sojini’s New Novel, Sex in Sandton
Johannesburg, South Africa – Bula Buka Publishers proudly announces the upcoming release of Sex in Sandton, a provocative romance novel by L. Sojini, available in April 2025.
Set in the contrasting worlds of Soweto, a vibrant black township, and Sandton, a symbol of affluence, Sex in Sandton is a gripping exploration of modern relationships, ambition, and the price of success. The story follows Bantu, a driven advertising executive, and her husband, Mdu, an investment manager. While both work in Sandton, they live in Bantu’s inherited Soweto home. Mdu dreams of moving to Sandton, believing it will boost their status—and their sex life. Bantu, however, questions the impact of such a move on their marriage, love, and intimacy.
Through personal and professional struggles, the novel delves into the intricate connections between love, power, and deceit. Themes of sleaze and the murky dealings of romance and business affairs are masterfully intertwined, making Sex in Sandton a sharp commentary on modern South African society.
L. Sojini, a novelist and creative writer with an MA in Creative Writing from Rhodes University, has previously been published in GQ, Business Day, FinWeek, and Books LIVE. His storytelling captures the complexities of love in an evolving, fast-paced world.
As part of Bula Buka’s acclaimed diary chronicle genre—featuring the sensational Diary of a Zulu Girl by Mike Maphoto, Diary of a Side Chick Makhwapheni by Lesego Maake, and Diary of a Cheating Wife by Londiwe Xaba and Siphelele Masango—Sex in Sandton promises to enchant readers with its unique blend of romance and raw realism.
Sex in Sandton will be available at leading South African bookstores, including Exclusive Books, Bargain Books, and Wordsworth Books. International readers can purchase it through Amazon, Lulu and Apple iBooks. Pre-orders are open now at https://bulabuka.co.za/shop.
