African Writers Trust is governed by its Advisory Board, currently (as of 2011) composed of Zakes Mda, Susan Nalugwa Kiguli, Ayeta Anne Wangusa, Helon Habila, Mildred Barya, and Aminatta Forna.
Zakes Mda wrote 2005 the novel The Whale Caller (ISBN 0-312-42382-9) in which the Whale Crier of Hermanus is the main character, a man who gets enthralled by a Southern Right whale he names Sharisha.
Michael Green's fiction forms part of a 'new wave' of writing (see also Zakes Mda, Ivan Vladislavic, J. M. Coetzee) which explores the altered landscape of Post-apartheid South Africa.
Most recently, he came to the United States, where he became a professor in the English Department at Ohio University in Athens, Ohio.
