The global premiere of “The Polygamist” on Netflix has triggered a significant surge in interest among South Africans, who are now flocking to bookstores and online retailers to explore the works of the author behind the series.

As the show's popularity continues to grow, so does interest in Nyathi's wider collection of books.

Social media has been flooded with praise for the author and recommendations for readers eager to explore more of her work.
