Born : Irvine M Molife (in Bulawayo, Zimbabwe ) D.O.B : 28 February 2003

BACKGROUND – King Irvine was born at Mpilo Hospital in Bulawayo ,Zimbabwe.He and his mother then went to live in Palape, Botswana to live temporary under the premises of Diane Sheikh the friend of his mother.Living there became an advantage for the little King Irvine who then learnt how to speak English in that place.That was because the official language of that house is English consisting of white people.By that time he was young and had not yet attended school.King Irvine and his mother then moved back to Bulawayo.There he attended school at Manyewu Primary school in Entumbane , Bulawayo.He learnt there for a term and was then transferred to Beitbridge Government Primary School in Beitbridge, Zimbabwe.He was staying there with his mother while his father was in South Africa. King Irvine ‘ s new school encouraged the students to read. The major books which were read were some story series called the Sunrise Readers. King Irvine loved to read those Sunrise Readers which contained some stories. Some interesting stories in the Sunrise Readers were short. King Irvine was not pleased by such stories which ended on the way. One of such stories was the story of the Flying Dutchman which was very short in the Sunrise Readers although it was very interesting. King Irvine continued that story in his note book and presented it to his classmates. Some loved the story but some became jealous. That was in 2013 when he was 10 years old. The support from some of his friends made him to discover his talent at an early age. He then proceeded to his 6th grade in 2014 and started to be taught by Mrs Chikohomero. That teacher was good in English. She introduced composition writing using deep English. King Irvine used those teachings to advance his story writing. He then wrote a short story called The Monster, that story gained a lot of support from his classmates. There was a competition for a title of being the Worker of the week at Beitbridge Government Primary School. King Irvine won that title as the best story teller after he presented his own story ‘The Monster’. At the School Prize Giving Day he won the prize of being the best student in English. King Irvine also won the title of worker of the week many times in competition for art. He did his grade seven and passed.He unfortunately failed to attend his secondary level in his dream schools. He then decided to learn at Vhembe High School.King Irvine then founded Kirvine Literature in 2016.He got enrolled in that school.That’s when he enhanced his writing skills to a better level.During his Form 2, he wrote his novel ‘Alicia the Explorer ‘. He failed to find publishers to publish that book. At last he found them very late. King Irvine stopped drawing in 2016 after losing hope on his art career. He stopped for a year and 10 months and then made a comeback later in November after being advised to grab tight his drawing talent by a man called Ali Baba who lived in his neighbourhood. King Irvine struggled to regain his drawing skills because of his long break. His friends who included Nikel Ndlovu, Mike Mandava , Marshall Lamula , Trevor Tore and Bhekithemba Mazano supported him all the time in both of his talents. As a young talented boy, he was also part of the Vhembe High debate club that won in the district in 2017 NASH Beitbridge Debate Competitions.
