About
Sara P Dias
Sara Dias (oftewel papRika, want die mensdom maak haar tietspiere lam… ), was born in Greymont and raised in Mayfair, Johannesburg and Georgina, Roodepoort. After high school she attended various tertiary institutions, obtaining qualifications irrelevant to her later life. She has worked as a Girl Friday, a lab technician sorting mosquitoes, a lab assistant handling bodily fluids, and as an art director in advertising agencies in Joburg and Cape Town. She lives in the Durbanville Wine Valley with her geeky wordsmith life-partner, is owned by several cats and works as a freelance front-end website designer. Now and then she paints and writes.
