On this day, 4 August 1964, Aubuti Gomolemo (Dr. Gomolemo Mokae) was born. Earlier this year, he was brutally taken away from us. Even though we're still hurting, we choose to remember the good times and his goodness. May he continue to rest in peace. Robala ka kagiso, aubuti.

On Friday, June 20, 1913, the Natives Land Act kicked in and, in the words of Sol Plaatje, the South African Native found himself a pariah in the land of his birth. On Friday, June 20, 2025, we revisit June 1913 through our new historical novel "Lefatshe ke la Badimo".
