He has published numerous poetry collections and a book of short fiction.

In the 1990s he was one of the founding members of the "Botsotso jesters", a poetry collective, as well as part of the founding editorial collective behind Botsotso magazine. Members of the Botsotso jesters aimed to collaborate and produce innovative new work, and included Ike Mboneni Muila and Isabella Motadinyane, two writers who experimented with language by utilising isicamtho dialects in their poems.
