(Blurb/Summary)

Gregory ‘Greg’ Tselane was known by virtually every member of the Kanye community. He was a junior secondary school learner who had gone completely wild in crime and waywardness. Highly famous in his school for his mischievous deeds, Gregory was a black sheep in his family and a community outcast. Disrespectful to everyone as he was, fowl behaviour was what placed him in the charts of fame.

When he radically and clandestinely changed abode to the rapidly growing town of Maun, it turned out to be a move that did not only endanger his life but also of those closest to him. Would experience teach him wisdom or would he plunge into the bottomless abyss he had dug? There seemed to be no one who could lift the veil that obscured Gregory’s vision. 

 Naledi was an opposite of what Gregory was. She was a devoted student who had high ambitions in life. She and Gregory led contradictory lives. What would happen if their paths crossed?  Could she be the remedy to Gregory’s ill behaviours? 

Hallowed Be My Name is an adventurous story that addresses various challenges that teenagers face in their daily lives. Mostly, it puts forward the differences between good and bad, right and wrong; all told in a fast, action packed, gripping plot that will, hopefully, capture the attention of the lower secondary school learner.
