Poet and activist Tendai Shaba has released his second book titled A Lady in A Yellow Dress to be launched in November 2023.
The 200-page book is a collection of poems that manifest emotional, mental and spiritual wellness and further explore the significance of the colour yellow.
“This is the colour of healing and happiness. The lady signifies the feminine qualities of a woman and how she presents her thoughts and feelings,” Shaba said Tuesday.
The Lilongwe-based poet has been vibrant in recent times releasing singles.

Shaba described poetry as a beautiful art form and that he uses it to express himself and tackle issues affecting society such as mental health, gender-based violence, women empowerment, climate change, labour and productivity.
“I have been on a spiritual journey for the past three years and I realised that my writing works on mental, spiritual and emotional wellness were touching so many people. This book epitomises all that work,” he said.
He then hailed some of the women in leadership, who have supported the book and they include Anti-Corruption Bureau Director Martha Chizuma, Old Mutual Group Chief Executive Officer Edith Jiya, Centenary Bank Managing Director Zandile Shaba and Charity Mughogho, Bank Executive, Standard Bank Malawi.
Shaba’s first book is Moments to Cherish, which he released in 2020.
