ya Pholisi ya Bosetshaba ya Kharikhulamo le Tlhatlhobo (CAPS) ya

girlfriend. One night, having realised that Harare has more than
one beautiful girl, he decides to have an affair. This tears his
relationship with his girlfriend apart and she takes off to South
Africa with their twins. In South Africa, the twins get separated
from their mother, resulting in a chaotic situation where one is
left with the question 'Whose fault is it?' SS Mokua has published
15 publications that include poetry, drama, folklore and short
stories. "Learners will find it a pleasure reading this novel since
the author has used Setswana and a bit of other Zimbabwean
languages. It captures the upbringing of the characters, how they
allowed themselves to grow and became responsible parents." KME

neetswe maemo, a sotle batho ba ba mo thusitseng go bona maemo
ao.Life is full of surprises! People often say that if they could
be given good and respectable positions, they will behave in
suitably humble ways - but talk is cheap.
