FROM THE BLOG
Bathandekayo, it is a delight to meet you here. This is my new blog and I will be sharing with you all sorts to keep the Ndebele language vibrant. There is something for the children, oKhekhe; for the you as a young person, Mntomtsha, and for all of us. Thank you very much for being a follower of my blog. Let us hear from you also if you have some bright ideas to share with your friends, especially ideas that encourage and uplift our language. Gogo will always share a devotional because without God, we are lost. And, there is a forum for you to share your Story of Faith in English. People just love to hear how you have been blessed.
