Award-winning author Sue Nyathi has raised the alarm over the sale of pirated copies of her novel, The Polygamist, at a bookshop along Ronald Ngala Street in Nairobi, warning that copyright infringement continues to pose a serious threat to the publishing industry.
The novel has experienced a massive surge in demand across Africa following its recent portrayal in a hit Netflix series, which catapulted the story into the global spotlight.
This instant on-screen popularity has made the book a prime target for counterfeiters looking to cash in on the buzz.
In a statement shared online, Nyathi said unauthorised copies of her newly famous novel were being sold at Affordable Books, a bookstore in Nairobi’s central business district.
