- While teaching in the East Rand, he changed his name to Muntu Wa Bachaki to avoid persecution by the apartheid government. His poems first came strongly to prominence during the 1990s, with many of his poems appearing in New Coin poetry magazine under the editorship of Robert Berold.
- His development is partially contemporaneous to other poets such as Mxolisi Nyezwa, Seithlamo Motsapi, Lesego Rampolokeng, a generation of writers labelled by academic Tom Penfold as "the poets of no sure place", their writing expressing the experience of the South African transition in a manner that challenged the status quo and expressed "the sense of imbalance and infinite disquiet" (Penfold, 2015) that they witnessed in contemporary society. He has published three volumes of poetry.
