Controversial writer and activist Jackie Phamotse won the adult fiction award at this year's SA Book Awards for her book "Bare: The Cradle of the Hockey Club", a tell-all book about the dark underworld of blessers and slay queens. After finishing Grade 12 at a boarding - school in the Free State, Treasure Mohapi moved back home in Westonaria, a town in the west of Gauteng province. Home however wasn't where she wanted to be as she longed for uncomplicated friendships and her dysfunctional family couldn't offer her that. Her friend, Bianca encouraged her to become a model and pursue her dreams and with an intent of supporting herself, she left home and moved in with her other friend Lintle in a flat in Braamfontein. Welcomed by Lintle with open arms and a warm heart, Treasure oozed a bit with confidence that all will be well. But, building a life in a big city doesn't come easy and Treasure watched the tall buildings, fancy cars and well-dressed men and women zoom past as they drove north through the city. She thought designer shoes, beautiful dresses and weaves and asked how can she fulfil all that she desires when she hasn't started working. The words "relax; all you need is a Minister of Finance in your life - someone who will support your desires", came out of Lintle's mouth. Money is a weapon; its ammunition is pleasure. But is the pleasure worth the pain and endless sacrifices?
