In 2017 Dotto's unpublished manuscript won The Mabati-Cornel Swahili Prize for African Literature.[1][2]. Judges in recognizing the long Kiswahili literary tradition said “In Mwanangu Rudi Nyumbani one encounters seductive metaphors and imagery, effectively and successfully used in diverse Kiswahili poetic forms and styles while articulating concerns that have direct bearing to the human condition. Dotto discusses weighty and serious matters but in a manner that doesn’t burden the reader. Instead he encourages one to keep on reading. He is a master of the craft. The volume is a great contribution to contemporary Kiswahili poetry".[3][4]
