Congratulations to Gregory Molale, Grigøri Molale 🇿🇦 🇧🇼 🌍 Puku #MoreBooksBetterBooks Language Of My Soul and everyone involved with making this amazing, powerful film. The story of Ouma Katrina Esau and her efforts to revive the language N|uu. I am in awe of this film.

We talk to Gregory Molale who spent years making this groundbreaking film. He heard about Ouma Katrina Esau at a Puku #MoreBooksBetterBooks event. After that, he had to tell the story that has moved JOHN KANI OIS OBE to say it's the most beautiful film he has seen. Language Of My Soul youtu.be/Sz6zLcBFH_s?si…

Loved being part of this discussion👇 with Language Of My Soul director Greg Molale. The documentary is inspiring🎬🎥. If you missed it you will have a chance to watch it in February 2025. Thank you Indigenous Languages Action Forum, Siki Dlanga, for initiating the conversation.

School holidays are here! PLEASE have your child reading. At least 30 minutes daily - more is better. For a list of quality books in indigenous languages, visit us: puku.co.za/catalogues/ Be sure to also limit screen time - tablets & TV can't be for more than 2 hours a day.

It is not only important to speak your own language but to learn from others too. Abel Selaocoe infuses Xhosa sounds to his Sesotho and classical music. The result is nothing short of mind-blowing.
