HOLDING MY BREATH, a memoir

166pp., paperback, Johannesburg, 2016

Ace Moloi was born and grew up in Sekgutlong in Qwa-Qwa in the eastern Free State. In this memoir, written in the form of a letter to his mother, who died when he was thireteen years old, he confronts the trauma of her death.

A graduate of the University of the Free State, in 2011 Ace Moloi was chosen to be part of the University’s flagship programme, F1 Leadership for Change, and posted to the International Christian University in Japan for leadership development. He also participated in the 2012 OR Tambo Edu-Tour from South Africa to Swaziland, Mozambique and Tanzania, and later that year was a Young Ambassador at the International Young Ambassadors Summit held in Stellenbosch. He works as a corporate communicator.
