Siboniso BoyBoy Dlamini
Author | Storyteller | Dreamer from Eswatini
Siboniso BoyBoy Dlamini is a young, passionate, and gifted author from the Kingdom of Eswatini, born and raised in the small town of Bhunya. From humble beginnings, Dlamini has emerged as a determined literary voice whose stories are shaped by resilience, imagination, and an unyielding belief in the power of storytelling. His journey is not merely one of writing books, but of overcoming loss, hardship, and limitation to pursue a dream that once seemed impossibly distant.
Early Life and the Birth of a Writer
Siboniso's love for storytelling began at a very young age, during his primary school years, where his talent first caught the attention of his English language teacher. While many children were still discovering how to read and write, Siboniso was already weaving stories, experimenting with ideas, and showing a rare sensitivity to language and narrative. His teacher recognized this spark early on and took a personal interest in nurturing it, offering guidance, encouragement, and belief at a time when such support can shape a child's entire future.
That early mentorship became a turning point. It planted a seed—one that would grow even through life's most difficult storms. Writing became more than a school activity; it became a refuge, a voice, and a dream.
Family, Loss, and Resilience
Siboniso was raised by his parents alongside his siblings in a close-knit family environment. Life, however, took a tragic turn when he was just 12 years old. The death of his mother marked one of the most painful chapters of his life. Suddenly, the warmth and balance of a two-parent household disappeared, leaving the family to be raised by a single parent.
The loss of his mother was devastating, and like many young people facing grief and sudden responsibility, Siboniso was forced to grow up quickly. Dreams felt fragile. The future felt uncertain. Writing, once joyful and effortless, became something he had to fight to hold onto.
Yet, even in grief, he did not give up.
Instead, writing evolved into a form of healing—an emotional outlet through which he processed pain, hope, anger, and survival. Stories became a place where broken worlds could be rebuilt, where heroes could rise from ashes, and where suffering could be transformed into meaning.
Chasing a Distant Dream
As he grew older, Siboniso's dream of becoming a published author felt increasingly far out of reach. Limited resources, financial challenges, and the realities of life in a small town all stood in the way. There were moments of doubt—times when writing felt like a luxury rather than a viable future.
But perseverance defined him.
Despite obstacles, he continued to write. He studied stories. He imagined worlds bigger than his circumstances. He refused to let his background define the limits of his ambition. While others may have given up, Siboniso chose endurance over surrender.
Breakthrough and First Publications
In 2025, that persistence bore fruit.
Siboniso BoyBoy Dlamini officially entered the literary world with the publication of his debut novel, The Lost Medicus City. The book marked a major milestone—not only as his first published work, but as proof that dreams delayed are not dreams denied. The novel resonated with readers drawn to mystery, adventure, and lost civilizations, establishing him as a promising new voice in speculative and adventure fiction.
Shortly thereafter, he released The Medicus City Legacy, a continuation that expanded the world and deepened the narrative. Together, these works showcased his growing confidence as a storyteller and his ability to build immersive fictional universes. Both books, along with several other titles, became available on digital platforms, allowing readers from around the world to access his work.
Action, Adventure, and Global Recognition
Before the end of the same year, Siboniso released two powerful action-adventure stories:
Logan: The Orphan of War
Tears of the Sun
These works marked a bold evolution in his writing—grittier, more emotional, and driven by themes of loss, survival, identity, and courage. Logan: The Orphan of War, in particular, reflects echoes of the author's own life journey: a protagonist forged by tragedy yet determined to rise.
Tears of the Sun gained recognition on Webnovel, a global digital storytelling platform, introducing Siboniso's work to an international audience and validating his talent beyond national borders.
A Voice from Eswatini to the World
Siboniso BoyBoy Dlamini represents a new generation of African writers—authors who tell universal stories while carrying the soul of their homeland. His work blends action, adventure, mystery, and emotional depth, appealing to readers who seek both escapism and meaning.
Though his roots are in Bhunya, his vision is global. He writes not only to entertain, but to inspire—to show that greatness can rise from the smallest places, and that stories can be born even in the face of adversity.
A Call for Support and Belief
Despite his achievements, Siboniso's journey is far from over. Like many independent authors, he continues to face financial challenges that limit access to publishing tools, marketing, education, and time to write. He is actively seeking financial and inspirational support from readers, institutions, publishers, and the global community of storytellers.
Support—whether through book purchases, donations, mentorship, or simply sharing his work—directly contributes to the continuation of his writing career. Every contribution helps him create more stories, reach more readers, and inspire others who come from similar backgrounds.
