Sipho Banda was born in Himeville and grew up in Impendle, KwaZulu Natal. He is the author of Vusi’s Visit to Drakensberg Mountain, a children’s book published by Msinsi Press. Another children’s book, Amaselesele Agangile, was published by Bhiyoza Publishers in 2023. His first collection of poetry, Ngigabe Ngezakithi, and a drama book, Umoya Wamagagasi, were published in isiZulu by Pelmo Publishers. Most of his poems in A Crowded Lonely Walk, his debut collection in English published by Karavan Press, reflect his own lonely and crowded walk. In 2024, Sipho contributed to an anthology of poetry titled Ayihlome (edited by T Qwabe and A Zibani), and to Imbiza Yexhiba, an anthology of short stories.
